so i wanna breed shrimp.....

[shrimpboy]

im planning to get a new tank for shrimps this September, can someone teach me how to breed shrimp? preferably cherry shrimp

[wsl]

Nothing much to teach really. As long as you have a mix of males/females, and the shrimp have good, stable water parameters and plenty of food, it's only a matter of time before you get berried females really. Cherries especially breed often and easily (compared to other species of shrimp).

Agreed, they are pretty simple to breed, just great, stable water perameters and your good to go. Lots of plants and moss for the shrimplets to hide in.

You will have fun!!

add them to water! i think the only thing easier to breed would be guppies!

the other thing is that it should only be a shrimp tank...no other creatures.

It will be easier to start with a good size group of them, like 30-40 of them. Plus all the good advices above.

I started with 5 cherry shrimp in my 8 gallon tank with 4 female endlers and one male endler. Within a short time, I had lots and lots of cherry shrimp and lots and lots of endlers. So, I added another tank!

I noticed that the cherry shrimp love plants. They love to hang from water lettuce. They also love to eat. I add Equilibrium to my water so that it's not quite as soft.

Let me know if you'd like some water lettuce for your shrimp. Water lettuce multiplies even faster than shrimp and endlers!

No way. shrimps are way easier than guppies, guppies eat their young.
