Week 3 is here!

Week 3 has been pretty exciting... as far as the shrimp world goes.

Added a coconut shrimp shack!

Added 3 golden snails.

Added some spiral val. and Arthraxon.

The black algae is completely gone.

Two of my females are berried. A lot of others have the yellow saddle.

Check out the pics... that's why you're here anyways.

i started with three and i now have about 30 in a 10 gallon tank lol. they are like mice in the way they breed.
 
those r sweet!
where did u buy your cherry shrimp?
 
Update week 8! Sorry I didn't think anyone was interested... So ask and you shall receive!

I have two different sizes of babies, looks like two batches so far, and the females are berried again! :D

As for where I got my cherries, I got them on aquabid. They came in super small, like the size of my babies right now. So in less than 2 months, they went from baby, to breeding...

Still not feeding them, they clean and eat algae, once a week or so, I put in 1 crab lobster bite, they dont seem interested in it yet. I think I have to few shrimps in the tank for them to be starved enough to eat it yet.

And now what you wanted I'm sure... Pics!

First pic, flash is on.... didnt wipe front of tank... basically just to show, how little the algae is now. This is all kept clean by the ottos/shrimps.
