Default Re: breeding cherry shrimp

Hi guys,

New to this forum. As myself, my kids and my wife are all really getting into our planted tank setup, I thought it would be a good idea to join these forums. Anyway, to the point.

We've recently purchased 5 cherry red shrimp and discovered that 2 of them are carrying eggs. We'd really like to try our hand at breeding these so we could put some in our 80g when they reach maturity. This thread has been very helpful....BUT....(there's always one of those isn't there ) since we JUST purchased a little 10g to house them in I'm not sure if we set it up and cycle it the way we do for our community tanks. Someone suggested that I could do a water change from my 80g and just put that water into the 10g and turn the filter and heater on. Is this correct?

I look forward to your inputs. Thank you
Jesse
