Default woohoo...they weren't kidding...

cherry shrimp do breed like rabbits

I was cleaning my guppy tank last night and I start looking and there's prob 10-15 baby shrimp in my java moss...and this is not even in my 'shrimp breeding tank'...then I move my breeders into a larger tank, and I find nearly 30 little EENY babies in there...I've got SHRIMPIES!!!

My LFS is impatiently awaiting them to be saleable size...me too for that matter. LOL

Wow congratulations!

I've always been facinated with inverts. I would love to get ahold of some.

Congrats on the babies They really are very easy to breed. A lot of people are discovering this, and I have noticed prices online dropping, but not so much in the stores.

I have a ton, but I can't ship now, as it's too hot

Delta - I'll sell to yo, once the weather has calmed down

Froggy - you bet! trade, paypal...however you want to work it...it'll be a couple months till they are ready...but ya, I am planning on selling what i don't need, either to MFT memebers or the LFS. Whoever wants them Let me know next time you are on the west slope and we'll see if I have any ready to go.

ram man - I will try to get pics here soon...i'm not the best photographer <blush>
