Cheated a little but finally have baby cherry shrimp

[HybridHerp]

So, after 2 long years of me wanting to get breeding cherry shrimp and me constantly NOT being able to get male cherry shrimp for some reason, I finally managed to get a batch of females that were already carrying eggs, and one of them just had her brood hatch
its an all invert tank so I am hopping that with shrimp born in the tank they will be hardier than the store bought adults and eventually become the foundation for a strong little breeding colony
I know this thread is probably worthless to most without pics bit I just wanted to share considering how annoyed I was getting that I only had females for the longest time :angry fire
but anyways, baby shrimp

2 years and no red cherry babies? You could order some RCS from all over the states. At my place you can get them free if you know people.

Well congratulation you've become a father. I have too many grand-grand-grand........ children now. The excitement is still there but not as much as before.

I still love seeing berries females. It makes me proud, knowing that I'm not screwing up.

I hope you get plenty of males so you can keep your colony going.

What great news to share. Glad to see your persistence.

If you mentioned this in the local NY forum sooner, i would have given you some cherries.

Congrats !!!

I just ventured into the wonderful world of RCS and hope to have my first babies as well... hopefully sooner compared to much later.

thanks guys
for some reason, idk, but every time I buy cherries I had for the longest time only gotten males, and I would have totally bought from some of you guys if I was on the forums back then
