what are you shooting with? great pics
just bought 2 dozen of these guys in hopes of breeding
I am shooting with my old in need of an upgrade Konica-Minolta 5D, using a Tamron 90mm macro lens and an hotshoe flash unit.
Wish you good luck with the breeding, I haven't done anything special with the tank, just created a nice enviroment for the shrimp with all the mosses.

your tank and shrimp's are amazing, ive been thinking about setting up a tank for some Red Crystals, you inspire me.
Go for it, plenty of mosses and they will give you great rewards ;)
 
Really nice tank and shrimp.I really like the moss wall.
 
Nice shrimp, I wanted to get cherry shrimp but I couldn't find them in local stores. I think that when I retransfer all the fish back to a 30 gallon I'll add more bamboo shrimp to my existing one.
 
Got some bad news about this tank, I have lost most of my CRS including 3 females carrying eggs :(
Might have been due to the heat wave we been having lately, noticed temps at 32ºC the other day and did a quick water change to lower things, I did install a fan under the lights and the temp now its at 23ºC, but was too late to save the CRS :(
The red cherries are breeding already and there are loads of shrimplets swimming around the tank.
 
Nice tank and Shrimp!
 
Just a quick update, the tank is doing great and the red cherries are breeding just fine :) this morning I counted at least 32 shrimplets that I could see. I haven't given up on the CRS, I should have a delivery on Tuesday of 15 to try again, I have kept fans on the tank now to keep the temps at around 23/24ºC.

Here some photos of my Cherries:
