At least in a heavily planted tank you'll have no idea how many you have in there, and trust me there will be around 10 times as many as you can see

Hmmmm...............I've just found 5 cherry shrimp in a tank that's never had shrimp in.......and I thought I had got rid of the lot!! Noy sure how that happened

Lmao, i just got a load of babies and there are still two females carrying eggs. Ill be giving them away on here soon.

There is some good news though......when I closed down my shrimp tank I put the 4 amano shrimps I had into my community tank, and that was the last I saw of them........I figured the angel fish had eaten them, then all of a sudden tonight I spotted 2 of them....yay!

Thats cool, they are probably just keeping out the way.

Hi all,
I've given/giving away hundreds, but now I'm feeding the spare "wild type" shrimps to the Apistogrammas, and they love them.

cheers Darrel
