Cherry Shrimp in SoCal @ Strictly Fish ...

John P. · 09-01-2004, 03:02 AM

in Lakewood, CA (off the 605).

I ordered these last week. I picked up 10 of them today, including one ripe, egg-laden female. Sorry, she was the only one w/eggs.

There are about 14 left--ask Terry about them & tell him John sent you. He'll then sell 5 for $15.

These things are so cool. Very active.

Here's the pregnant female, which has been grazing on the same algae-laden rock all evening:

Looks like at least 2 of the others are females with developing eggs (due to yellowing behind the head area). Pretty soon I'll have some extras (knock on wood).

Glad you finally found some at such a good price. I hope your tank becomes as infested as mine.

Care to Ship some of your shrimps this way ? ;-)

John P. · 09-02-2004, 03:54 PM

If I'm able to breed them, I'm sure I'll need to!

John P. · 09-02-2004, 05:30 PM

Lights just went on in the aquarium ... thought I had a dead one . . . turns out it was my first molting.

What do you mean able? At first I doubted some of the people here who said these guys breed like flies. I just noticed another new batch crawling around on the rear algae-covered wall of my tank. I'm getting a little worried now. My tank was overstocked to begin with, now the number of inhabitants are at: 10g - 8 Cardinal tetras, 16 Amano shrimps, 3 Bronze cories, 1 Otocinclus, 5 Adult Cherries (had 6 but squished one while planting), and 2 or 3 dozen baby & sub-adult Cherries.

dennx · 09-03-2004, 05:07 AM

Hey John I bought 10 Cherries at Strickly Fish. It's a very nice store just like you said, although I don't think any of the people that waited on you were there as I mentioned your name. They said the "freshwater guys" were not there today. The shrimp are doing fine as they get used to the tank, but I don't think I have any egg-laden females... although I think I have at least 1 female (yellow behind the head). We'll see what develops.

Hey dennx, were there any left?

Is that what that means? I have several shrimp showing a yellow "saddle" shape behind the head. Soon to be egg-laden??

Don't let your enthusiasm get the best of you John!

Only kidding! Very nice of you to offer your extras to the board!

Cool. Thanks John. I've read the articles at petshrimp, but I'd never checked out the information on the forums before. Some good info there!
