Yeah if they breed a lot I will tranfer the lot to a bigger tank.

actually let it remain in the same tank better since the water condition is good le. or you can actually run the bigger tank water first.
that would really help. gotta check the tank's water parameter first.
cheers!!

bro congrats soon u will see shrimplet swimming around

The eggs are still attached to the female shrimp body.

Congrats bro, I believe your tank conditions have reached a good level that encourages the cherries to breed. Once that occurs, you'll experience an population explosion soon.

I started with 15 cherries 2 years back. Now have about 100 plus to 200 pieces (estimated, too many already) in my 2 ft taiwan moss shrimp tank. Not counting those that I sold along the way. The cherries are actually quite hardy somemore. Only changed water 3 times in these 2 years.

yea... at first i started with 50 cherry 2weeks ago..
now i have around 8 pregnants.. maybe 20 or 30+ 0.3cm big shrimplets. they indeed breed and grow very very fast..

Like to ask, after they are hatched, how long do they take to be adult?

Can I ask, do you feed them with anything or just let them feed on the plants?

so once the shrimplets first appear, they are about 0.3cm size? What to feed them with?

no.. once shrimplets is released out. it takes up to 1 or 2weeks to reach the size of 0.5cm big.
my shrimplets is around 1.5week old. so its around 0.3cm now.shrimplets will find their own food among moss..
