Well, after my very sad news the other day I discovered one of my cherries are berried. 2nd chance at being a shrimp Mum. We have moved all 5 of our cherries into Shrimptopia. Surely I can't fluff this up! The 2 boys are loving it already and are exploring everything. Mum to be (Marri) is just playing with the moss balls. It took about 2 hours to drip acclimatise them, then a further hour or two to ensure the temperature was right. Fingers crossed, this should be easier! Lol. x

I Hope you get lots of cherry shrimplets soon, there shouldn't be any problem breeding those, the only slight risk is that you may have stressed the mother by moving her while berried so there is a slight chance (small chance but just letting you know in case it happens, not to panic) that this batch won't come to anything. If she still has the eggs after a few days you should be fine! Cherry shrimp are really easy so all you will need to do is sit back and watch the little shrimplets grow! Simon

I'm really happy, finally a local shop in Hong Kong had some of these crabs, not to sure which variation of the spider crabs,, but they advertised them as miniature spider crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri) , I was going to bring them back from Taiwan if I find any, but no need now, got them for about GBP 13.50 for 10 crabs, I will pick up another 30 crabs in the next few day. The first photo is the crabs in the bag, I won't get home till tmr, the second photo is taken at the shop.
