After a few months of losing store bought RCS in a small 2 gallon tank. I took the last two survivors and included them in my 20 gallon high about a month ago. Fast forward to this week where I finally noticed 3 shrimplets in my java fern... the next day I noticed 7... the next day I noticed 12. Now I counted upwards of 35+ little baby red cherry shrimplets. There is not a single plant or area of the tank that doesn't have 2-3 of these guys hanging out around.

A month ago I posted about the two Red Cherry Shrimp I had in my community fish tank having a couple microscopic baby shrimplets. A month later... Shrimpocalypse!!!!28876524_10101243945300883_1229541383_o.jpg
 
When dinner involves acrobatics... I really have no idea how this green bean is staying like that. 20180314_220705.jpg
 
I ordered 10, got 12 live, excellent color on them. Sadly I've never seen more than 5 during tank cleanings so I'm pretty sure I lost some though I have not seen any floaties or remnants so not sure what happened. They are in with small red cardinal tetras and 2 glofish so I wouldn't think they would be small enough to fit in any of those mouths...

My 55G tank that has somehow turned into an RCS and BN breeding tank (and a horde of KuhlI Loaches for the 'kids' to play on).

As at this post:
BN = 2 breeding adults (soon to be split as the tank can't handle more than 2 batches of babies...) and 40ish 1-2cm babies with second batch of babies in the cave. (mom in the photo)

Striped Kuhlis = 14
Shrimp = +- 30 adults, 5 adolescent and maybe 10 babies.

Blues never look as good in photos as they do in real life.

These were just so much nicer to look at than these photos can reproduce.
 
Feeding Time - Brussels Sprout

Not fully cooked, I do the whole bag at one time, they initially float so they are cooked until they sink. Then I let cool and then freeze. Wednesday is veggie day on all my tanks. Take some out, let thaw and its feeding time. Easy!

Finally figured some good old gravel holds down lettuce well

But anyway here is my new colony from Aquatic Arts!

First berried shrimp!! Have had them for several weeks now, they are all doing well.. got a bit teary when I saw her all berried up on the spinach the other day. Apologies for the poor quality photo.. my tablet's camera is not the best.

I guess being upside down is a thing. She quite literally always eats upside down. So she is basically upside down 24/7. Maybe that’s why she’s such a deep red E0623A92-471A-4377-9863-4EBE50165A22.jpeg

I love this little rainbow rock! I had just used a baster to place uber small fry food in the tank so I basted the rock with some as well and the beauties flocked to the rock! This is my favorite photo yet!770B65CD-0A5E-4CFB-BE3F-F3C8511CBD08.jpeg

4E794EF3-40F8-4628-BD51-078E040B4227.jpeg Well. I thought Joanna dropped her eggs, but I was wrong. I just spotted these guys hanging around today!
 
Here's my RCS. I ended up with 2 babies from petco when I got the other 6. I didn't think they'd made it, but here was one feeding today when I dropped in some tasties.

 
So excited! Just spotted this berried female. I've lost a couple shrimp, but the baby is grown up now. Hopefully this is a good sign that I got my water problems controlled 20200107_234144.jpg
 
this is one of my latest cherries berried for the first time shes a little over 5 months old
