EDITED COS I WANT THEM FOR MYSELF :p
looky like fake to me lol
 
that picture was taken off the net, i have seen it many times now.

wish sellers would use there own pictures, so we can get a true picture of what there selling.

sharon
 
I bought my shrimp from a seller using that picture (not the same seller though). Out of 10 shrimp only 2 can resemble them, though I can't be sure if that is from my inexperience of keeping shrimp, or poor quality. I personally put it down to more on my part.

The shrimp in the picture I don't think are dyed, just nice specimens.

Mel has removed the link so I can only guess which ebay picture it is. :p

With Cherry shrimp only the females get bright red the males stay pinkish. Thats probably why Shroob only has 2 bright red ones.

Ya probably, though I have only 6 shrimp now. Due to building works I had to move the tank, had 14 before, can only count 6 now. Unfortunate, but they had to be moved and I tried my best to ensure safety.

That was the picture.
 
They are experts at hiding, the only way i would be able to find all my shrimp is by taking everything else out the tank you might have more than you think!

Plus they breed in fresh water so fingers crossed you'll have more soon.
 
I started with 10, they were absolute babies, I mean literally about 1mm long. Had them for around 6 and a half months now. I think 4 babies in that time isn't a good thing. Everything I read said they are easy to breed, but I must not be doing something right. Bad news is I can't find any of the female shrimp, which stick out like a sore thumb normally.
