Try Nerite snails from the Clithon genus, Hawaiian volcano shrimp (Halocaridina rubra) and certain brackish-proof ghost shrimp varieties. The tiny bumblebee goby might work; although it's carnivorous in nature, it is probably too small to eat adult shrimp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese shrimps are originally located in Darwin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto credit by Indir Tupkovic.

The price at this time was quite high and the shrimps unfortunately were not very nicely coloured. The price of the shrimps, fortunately, tumbled quickly as people discovered that they were very easy to care for and breed readily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2014 they reached around \u003cstrong\u003e50 cents (!!)\u003c\/strong\u003e AUD and people started giving up on these shrimps just because they were easy to breed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we opened in early 2014 we were fortunate to be the first shop to sell these shrimps in bulk and we were proud to be selling them as low as $1 per shrimp (at that time).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as we fast forward to the present and beyond, the price of these shrimps has increased steadily due to the necessary upkeep requirements for ensuring\u003cstrong\u003e healthy shrimps for sale\u003c\/strong\u003e. Now, these shrimps are more than a staple in the Aquarium hobby and a great addition to add for those starting out in shrimp keeping and Aquascaping in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fish live with red cherry shrimp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a lot of fish that live with red cherry shrimp. You should consider keeping it with anything that won’t target the shrimp. The Red Cherry Shrimps make an irresistible target to predation. To keep it safe and as a rule of thumb, don’t keep shrimps with Barbs, Bettas or anything that can predate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if the fish do not eat the shrimp, having planted aquariums allow for a safe place so your cherries are happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do red cherry shrimp live for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Shrimps live for around 1-2 years. However, remember that when they are born they are born live and you can observe little shrimps in the tank. Most stores will sell shrimps at around 3-6 months. At this stage it is the best and ideal time for them to go to their new homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo Cherry shrimps breed easily?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Shrimps breed very easily and to make sure they do breed, I recommend that you put them in with Bristlenose algae eater. The combination of having a Bristlenose and Cherry Shrimps means that they will consistently breed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly use a sponge filter and do not keep with other fish if you wish for success. If the tank is new and does not contain sufficient algae, algae wafers are fine to use as this is what baby shrimps eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFemales who are carrying the eggs will have a cluster of between 30 and 50 eggs at a time beneath their tails. Properly bred, 10 shrimps can turn into 1000 in 6 months!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo cherry shrimp need a filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry shrimps do need a filter to live. However, don’t go overboard on the filtration. A simple sponge filter or internal filter will be more than sufficient for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo cherry shrimp eat fish poop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Shrimps don’t generally eat fish poop, however they will eat Bristlenose poo readily. I believe it is due to the wood that Bristlenose Eat that the Red Cherry Shrimps like as well. I do recommend that you also do feed your Cherry Shrimps to make sure that they are always in great form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo cherry shrimp jump out of tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Shrimps do not necessarily jump out of a tank. However if you give them a way.. like a filter wool climbing area or anything rough they will wonder around. When this happens please make sure that you keep your lids secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you know if cherry shrimp are happy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou know that your cherry shrimps are happy because they will swim around readily and scavenge food in your tank. However, once they become still or unresponsive you will have problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the worst you can ever do with shrimps is when you spray an aerosol in the house. Such as a fly spray or anything that will kill bugs. If and when you do this death will be swift!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do shrimp drop eggs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes when RCS molt they might drop their eggs. This means that the eggs were not viable or there is a problem with the water conditions. When this happen we recommend you ignore it at first. However, if this occurs frequently we recommend that you get your water tested to make sure that everything is ok.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre red cherry shrimp Hardy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Cherry Shrimps are hardy. They can be totally ignored and you don’t need to really worry about them. The old adage with shrimps is that the more you care for them the worst they can get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat plants do cherry shrimp like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShrimps loves mosses or anything that they can hide and cover themselves in. If you are looking for things like Susswassertang or Java Moss these are the simplest and the best options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan cherry shrimp live with bettas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore we answer the question can Cherry Shrimps live with Bettas, we need to clarify the question further and make it more specific. One betta cannot live with one Cherry Shrimp. One will be food and one will be full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, if you have 1 betta with say 12 shrimps and heaps of cover in the tank they they can live together with no issues. The reason for this is because it is hard for the betta to focus on the one shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you eat red cherry shrimp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can but why would you? A cherry shrimp is such a small size and you will need a lot of it to really make a meal out of them. If you intend to breed for your human consumption, I would strongly advise against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy shrimps came today and they look transparent!
