will glowlight tetra bully or eat cherries?

i had qurantine the 4 cherries who are pregnant in a tank..if the babies will born,can i feed them with liquidfry

Wah so lucky! I've bought plenty many fish and shrimp over the years and have never got any preggies for a long long time. Last free preggie I had was a swordtail almost 30 years ago.

Sigh... must go bathe in flower-water or maybe aquarium water ph 6.8...

one of the shrimp had give birth to 10++ shrimplets,wow if this carry on i will need a seperate tank for the shrimps or give some away.

After I read your post, went down to C328 a few days later and scanned through their bags of cherries. Managed to get 1 bag of 10 with 3 pregnant ones.

As a bonus, I found 3 additional shrimplets in the bag as well.

Now thinking of getting some sakuras to cross-breed or maybe add in some orange shrimps just for variety.

I think many fish especially the smaller ones that are mass produced are farm-fed hormones that made them infertile. so can't blame yourself when they don't reproduce. only exception are I think the livebearers like guppies and swordtails and the shrimps haha.

please don mix sakura with your cherries as in the end u might get less reddness shrimp. It from my own experience, now I own a command of reddness sakura.

do not put glowlight with cherries.they killed 4 shrimps.i only found the head and tail.

An alternative view would be that it could get my cherries redder.

I intend to keep the majority of sakuras in a separate tank but also drop in a few sakuras into my cherry tank in the hope of getting cherries redder.

I currently comm my cherries with greens and also intend to get some orange. I've read somewhere that orange shrimps need brackish water or they will drop eggs.

I've got some cherries in my comm tank with neons, cherry barbs, rasboras and cories... so far all surviving... some shrimplets that I could not get into the shrimp only tank have managed to grow up as well.

I guess the trick is to have the tank dense with plants, moss and dw.
