Cherries with saddles

[aidenb]

I picked up 3 cherry shrimp this week and they are in an 30L tank alone, I've noticed that all 3 have saddles, are these developing eggs already fertilized or do I need to go search through the tanks at work for a male?

I won't want to worry much. Just get a batch of mix gender shrimps and intro into the tank and they will work their magic. That's how I started my own cherry tank last year and I got alot of shrimplets from them and till date I still got them growing up and producing more shrimplet in there.

Cherries are a common shrimp here in singapore. In fact most of the hobbyists started from cherries previously. But now, they work straight into CRS.

But I still enjoy the view of my cherry community tank apart from the CRS I having.
