Usually, this is considered a good thing. Amanda, cherry shrimp are known for being quite prolific breeders — then again, so are guppies! Usually, this is considered a good thing.

I am getting a 10 gallon guppy tank, and was thinking of adding some cherry shrimp. Not if they breed a lot, though. What do you think? Thanks! NICE tank btw :) Hi!

I'd love to trade some for a few handfuls of aquasoil and/or a few handfuls of crushed coral. Sounds strange, I know but I dont need whole bags of them, just 2 handfulls.

Kim, the yellows are doing great, but I still haven't seen any babies, which is driving me crazy. Mark, I totally agree. Nothing beats a beautiful planted aquarium made alive of the interactions of its inhabitants. AquaDaily, I also recall how expensive these beauties were when they first came into the hobby. Thanks goodness they breed like roaches! Thanks for the comments everyone!

That would be quite some big ticket convention! :) Not really relevant to your lovely photos, but I couldn’t help remembering what cherry shrump cost when they first arrived in the hobby.

Sometimes I will put some moss from another tank with bits of hair algae on it, and after a few minutes you can't see any of the plant, only a ball of shrimp. :) I keep several types of dwarf shrimp (separated, of course), and they are definitely mobbers!

Thanks for sharing!
