I had Cherry, Orange, Amano, Ghost (dont bother you cant see them,,, or very difficult) If you get the water quality spot on you will find they will breed very well.

Also buy yourself a decent testing kit and check weekly, when you buy it ask for some help with what results to look for and what to do to rectify any issues.

Brill, if all your readings are good then you wont have any issues from the shrimps. Far too many people buy fish and then they die due to water contains too high nitrites. ammonia or such like thats why i mentioned testing the water. Sorry the fish die not the people that buy them.

Agree there I always check the water and regular partial changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 This was very early on, months after the Java moss was overtaking the tank and was giving it away, the rest of the plants were similar, the shrimps, and Cory's were breeding like mad. Water samples didn't alter either, so consistent i doubted the tests and ended up taking samples to Maidenhead aquatics. If you get a mix of shrimps you may find they will cross breed.
