Hi, I am new to keeping OE red devil. I'm not new to keeping shrimp though, been keeping shrimp for over 17 years now. However, the OE red devil shrimplet have very low survival rate, less then 20% for me. Is that normal? I am also curious how people breed OE red devil are they just extreme red wine or they came from red tiger shrimp? My current stock came from Taiwan. My Parameters: TDS: 130-140 pH: 6.3ish gH:5-6 kH:0-1

My water temperature is stable at 72-74F (22-23C). I feed them powder food and bacteria like bacter AE. I was thinking about moving them to breeding net that might be good idea. My first issue was that right after they release the babies they tend to molt right away and get berried again so if i keep them in nets they might not get berried again. The tank is in my office so i dont get to see them over weekend. My first berried OERD held her egg for over 35 days to the point where she molted and some eggs was still attach to molt. I will order a breeding net and see if that help. Thanks!

OERT (Orange Eye Red Tiger) can be a cross between (Extreme Red Wine x Red Tiger) or (Ruby Red Taiwan bees x Red tiger). Red Devil is just a marketing name. They should be kept at Taiwan Bee water parameters. Your listed parameters look fine, but what about temps? And what have you tried feeding the shrimplets? Shrimplet death rates are usually attributed to water parameters and availability of food. You could improve survival rates by transferring the berried mama into a breeding net until the shrimplets hatch. Remove the adult after they hatch and raise the shrimplets in the breeding net for a few weeks.You can make sure the shrimplets get sufficient food before releasing them into the main tank.

I hate to say it ... just get two tanks and you can keep both colour variations.

They're both the same species , so just choose the colour u like⊂(◉‿◉)つ

Wow!!! That's super cheap!!! Like 3 for 1 AUD.

That's so cheap !

It's actually pretty ez to keep rili shrimp . It's just pretty rare in US . I'm not sure if it's possible to import living shrimp into US . In Taiwan , red rili shrimp is like 100NT for 12 shrimp?
