Breeding Shrimp

HI

I am planning on getting 2 cherry shrimp (1 male and one female) and was wondering how to breed them.

Thanks.

put them in a tank feed ocasionally and wait its really that easy but you would be best looking on the internet and get a few like 10

hi, what size is the tank? it would be a much better idea to start off with a lot more than that, about 20 is a good number to start with. and as for breeding them, you don't really have to do anything to make them breed except have lots of moss, plants and hiding places for them and the babies.

Agree, while 2 would be enough to start a colony, much better to get 10 or more. When they are as cheap as red cherries are you might as well get 10. This guarantees a mix of sexes.

All you need for breeding is clean water, enough room to expand the colony and food. Though its important not to overfeed them.
