Easiest to cultivate live food - Cherry Shrimps

[andrewtyr]

Was chatting with cwtan12 just now and realised that cherries shrimplets are actually quite easy to cultivate for LIVE fish food. Perhaps the most convenient ones of all!

Morbid uh

[cwtan12]

Not easy...always not enough.... they breed far too slow... So now I can only place them in Betta Macrostoma fries tank and let the fries finish them as they grow. I placed 300pcs in my Betta Patoti fries tank before but now not a single one left.

If you have any suggestion on the cheaper alternatives of let something breed in the tank as fishs' live food, let me know. I have tried tubifex but some fries are too stupid to be able to catch

isn't that kinda of wasted. as cherries are such nice shrimps in the planted tank.

why not try swordtails? live bearer and the numbers of fries produced by a single female is far greater than cherries.
