Hello,
I'm slightly new to this shrimp business but a little while ago (3-4 weeks) I bought 5 Cherry Shrimp, in the last week I noticed that some had been missing from 'daily view', so I just guessed they were hiding... I also noticed an exoskeleton from a cherry in my tank a few days after they went 'missing'..
Upon getting home from work tonight, I noticed a really really small looking red thing at the back of my tank, when looking even closer, it's a baby cherry shrimp. Now, this is news to me as I didn't realise one was pregnant. I've only seen one baby so far, should I expect to see more?
My other query being, they also share the tank with 6 Rummy Nose Tetra, 4 Amano Shrimp, and 2 Otto. Are any of the other fish/shrimp in the tank likely to eat the freshly born cherry's?
Thanks for any help, it's come as a nice surprise!
