So I just ordered some berried red cherry shrimp and I am so excited!!! Cant wait to get them started! :)

Anyways. Just wondering if anyone knows of a great site that has tips and tricks for raising RCS? I have two tanks for them. One is a 25 gallon and another is a 5 gallon. Also I could possibly use a 55 gallon if I needed to.

Also, is there some good food that increases breeding? I have the pellets and the calcium they need but was wondering if there is anything else I need? I also ordered some java moss to put in the tank as well. :)

Well the tank is set up. :) I will try to take pictures soon. They have gravel and java moss and a moss ball in there. Anything else I should add? :D

Also, three of my 13 shrimp molted. :eek: Is this a good sign or a bad sign? I took it as a good sign because to me, that signifies growth. Is this correct?

Thank you! :bowl:

Well they are molting some more and now I am seeing little babies everywhere!! :) I am wondering how many little shrimps a 10 gallon can house? Hopefully... a lot! Haha. :eek:

I haven't been able to take any pictures. My camera is not working, and I've had it for only a year. :( Bummer.

I also put in some plastic plants that had some algae on them into the shrimp tank so they could clean it. Success!!! :proud:
