    Can these two live together in harmony? My tank is mostly riccia and on small java moss planted on a rock. I've got 15 cherry shrimps but most are about 1cm only.

    Issit advisable to introduce 10 cardinal tetras? My tank is 2ft.

    read from past threads that petmart's $25 for bag of 10's? anyway, called them the other day, said no stock, "seasonal"...

    gave up and bought some malayan shrimps from GenX instead.

    HWCHOY! GenX's malayan shrimps have 2 colours, some bluish and some redish. not as colourful as those you got from Gan's, but at least...[]

    Some are red, the bigger ones. The smaller ones are getting redder though.

    Although I got 15 in my 2 ft tank I have problems even seeing at least 3 of them at any time.

    Anyway, when I rescape my tank in 2 weeks time, I'll take them out and check them out while they're in a quarantine tank.[]

    flor, I bought two packs of malayan at Ben's and they were all with eggs. by the time I got home the babies shrimps had all "hatched" and swimming in the bag. So I put everything into a tub of moss hoping they will grow up. When the mothers are still alive in the moss tub, but again their colours had turned to white, and still no sign of growing-up shrimp-babes []

    after 2 weeks with me, my cherry shrimps have turned from transparent to a healthy maroon red with a bright yellow patch on their back!
