Hi, those are boiled spinach and all shrimps love it.

Most of the shrimps shown are the ones I bred and picked.

Yo bro,

Nah, most males are not equally as red and beautiful as the females. Only a handful of them are as red, however I found they are not as horny as the others.

Hello Spid,

**Spid** · 12th Mar 2008, 22:28

Hi George，

I got these shrimps from taiwan about a year back and has been breeding and maintaining their redness as they do not breed true yet.

That what I like because of their reddness they have , and they don't require chiller at all. I believe extisting shrimps thet does not require high maintainence cost, but colour and cheap is only sakura shrimps.

Spid,

What are your tank parameters ?

Choo,

I haven't heard that sakuras are a "low maintainenace" shrimps.

**CHOO** · 22nd Mar 2008, 21:01

hi my base is some magic soil, some moss and floating plant. Running by sponge filter. I don't have any test kit, do not know my parameter. How about yours?

My ph is around 6.8-7.1. Ammonia,nitrite, nitrate never measure.

Level of difficulty of keeping them is relatively low.

What I did everyday is to make sure I do not overfeed and to cull those light colored ones.
