How are my cherries doing?

[mr_c265]

Hey all, i was looking in my tank today, found some pretty good looking cherries. Most of mine have those white lines down the back, but i found a few that look much much nicer today. Here they are.

Females

Male

Not sure

It's really hard to tell what i've got in the tank as there is a huge ball of moss that has somewhere between 30 and 100 shrimp living in it. I may see some good shrimp like this one day and then not see them again for a week.

Planning to catch these guys next time and see if i can get them their own tank.

Beautiful cherries.

The first one with the red legs is very sexy

Nice! If only the shrimp bred and survived as easy as the snails! I see you have quite a population of them!

Cheers guys, i really like the red legs, i believe thats one of the requirements for painted grading, if only i could trick the males into copying her :P

Mate, you should see the selective shrimp fry saver. Before shrimp it was a snail saver because i didn't have enough ramshorns, regretting it now. Another thing that breeds easier than shrimp, java moss, its everywhere. OOh found a photo of the frysaver.

Lovely shrimp, and so glad to see I am not the only one battling ramshorn invasions. I just wish the equally quick breeding MTS would develop a taste for ramshorns or vis versa.

lol! wish we could get assassin snails in aus!

Wish my thumb didn't get wet or dirty when snails start to block my view of the tank. Assasin snails would be a nice solution.

The people that originally brought exotic shrimp to Australia could have really been a little more considerate and helped a brother out with some other nasty little inverts.

(no, i don't condone smuggling, i was just trying to be funny)
