Any tips on breeding Crystal Red Shrimp?

**texaskido** · 27th Mar 2008, 09:33

I have one SS hino, a few S grade tiger and v type shrimp and a few bee shrimp( i have 2 female cherry shrimps hanging out in there also)

I really would love to see them start breeding(the crystal red shrimp )!!

anyone have any tips?

here is a pic of my tank i just ordered some more of those bamboo tunnles and some of that moss for them to hide in. The round things on the right are a few fragments of mini pellia on a rock wrapped in a net.

would it be the case that your bee shrimps can cross breed with your precious CRS?

yes they can cross breed but i am not worried about that until they start breeding or i see eggs. or should i be worried??

Invest in a chiller if you want them to breed.

Tanks seems big enough, but you havent any plants ? Is the tank newly setup ?

I reckon he need a heater more then a chiller.

I would put in some moss or other plants. CRS and other shrimp love to munch on the things they find on it.
