Description

You are bidding on 30 beautiful mixed size 1/4 to adult size cherry shrimp. Shipping is on me. My cherry shrimp come from several source's/bloodlines, all were chosen for their color. They are not "fire red" by any means but as you can see in my somewhat crappy pic they are indeed very red. Several of my girls (not pictured...hey you get them to pose!) are positively scarlet. Cherry shrimp are the easiest dwarf shrimp for a beginner. As long as a few very simple basic needs are met. A 5-10 gallon tank dedicated solely to them will suffice as their home. Very few fish can resist baby shrimp as a snack and many times the adults as well, so choose tank mates wisely. Even guppies and similar small fish can be a danger to young shrimp. Also, shrimp know they are at the bottom of the food chain. Many times even when very small peaceful fish are introduced your lovely shrimp will suddenly go into hiding. Ottocinclus catfish are one of the few that I know of that will not harm dwarf shrimp. For some reason my shrimp are unafraid of my otto, perhaps they can somehow sense his peaceful nature? If you do choose to house them with guppies etc. make sure you have VERY full lush plant growth. This will provide the adult shrimp with security and the young with an escape route. I recommend using an air-driven sponge filter or small box filter. You can use HOB power filter's or small canister filter's if you slip a fry saving sponge sleeve over the intake. The sponge should be designed for this purpose...there is a seller here on aquabid that carries this item...please don't skimp on this piece of equipment when using power filters! Many keepers of dwarf shrimp report significantly more shrimplets when using an air driven filter. I personally use two fry saving sponges attached in tandem to a power head and seem to have dozens of shrimplets but this is just MY experience. Feeding. I feed my shrimp hikari algae wafers that contain NO copper, french cut string beans with no salt added and cucumber. DON'T OVERFEED!!!! Feed them small amount's and I do mean small! If they cannot finish it in 2-3 hours it's too much. Think just how very small they are, their stomach's are very tiny. It is a good idea to have a cleanup crew of small peaceful snails like Malaysian trumpet snail's, blood red ramshorns, small nerite snail's (tho nerites prefer harder water possibly), and perhaps an Ottocinclus cat or two. I often skip a day feeding my shrimp, I think it's good for them. Remember, if you have a sufficient amount of java moss or the like they will be constantly foraging in it anyway. This part is sort of food and water quality combined. I add a few (1-2 per ten gallons roughly) good size dead maple leaves approximately every week or so. Many hobbyists use �Catappa� aka East Indian almond leaf. The shrimp will eat the outer flesh of the leaf away till there's nothing left but veins which they then harvest for micro organisms. I periodically remove them as they deteriorate and add fresh dead leaves so there is never a ton of leaf litter. Adding leaves will stain your water, a beautiful light amber if you add just enough, brown if you add too much. Experiment, add them very slowly, a leaf every day or two if your unsure. They will float for a few days but will then sink to the bottom. Some hobbyists use oak leaves, some use maple and some use catappa. I believe them all to be good choices. Most importantly don't forget to do a 25-30 percent water change at least once a week! Water should be on the hard side for cherry's you could even add a small few pieces of dead coral rock to the tank or filter. Cherry shrimp can take a wide range of water values from soft to hard. And please give them live plants! Java moss or floating Hornwort will do. I prefer Marimo moss balls and najas grass...any sort of (live) plant's in their tank is a HUGE plus! While the above info is a really good guideline my advice to the novice shrimp keeper is: Let ye go forth and Google! Seriously there is a lot of good info out there on cherry shrimp. Cycle a tank, hit the old Google and then come buy some shrimp! I only accept payments made through paypal. Your shrimp will be shipped via USPS priority mail in a Kordon bag...I only ship on Mondays to help prevent postal snafus...since you have no way of guaranteeing YOUR tank conditions I can only guarantee live delivery...pic of dead shrimp in unopened bag must be provided...guarantee only covers the total number of dead shrimp...guarantee does not cover cost of re-shipping! Any and all re-shipping fees will be ACTUAL shipping...not some ridiculous overinflated price...cold weather packing fees will apply in winter...packing fees will be minimal...ONLY what I pay for packing materials...again no ridiculous over inflated price...guarantee will NOT apply if you do not use USPS express shipping in cold weather
