how do u differentiate sakura with cherry shrimp ?

I think that cherries redden with age but i heard from somewhere that true sakuras have red legs

Does your sakura shrimp breed 100% true? All of the offspring are dark red?

For me personally, it is the intensity of red that is found on the shrimps. I don't know if the legs must be red to qualify as one, maybe an expert could answer that.

From my experience, sakuras breed true.

I also have a bunch of cherry shrimps ... They are very red. When I compared with sakura shrimp in LFS, they looks the same. So now I'm also confuse whether I'm keeping sakura or cherry shrimps.

If they look very red like a Sakura, then its Sakura.

hi, i am new here. can i check if your GH is high for your tank. I just added in some 10 sakuras into my planted tank and decided to run a GH test. Its very high, 18 goodness. Is it because of liquid ferts that i have added?

Ferts do not contribute to GH levels from what I know.

Why not get a new one? When it comes to filters, I find that buying a good brand like Eheim pays off in the long run. Not only are water parameters kept stable with good filtration, noise is not a factor and your filter last years.
