Hi Peter-
I feed my cherries with Hikari Algaes waffles and Hikari Crab-cuisines

I have heard that cherry is cheapest of all beauty and easily keep.

Just started a 1 footer last week with some moss onto a driftwood with some $1/- per packet shrimps from the market. Guppies to keep mosquito away. Maybe I have to wait a month or so for the result.

Do you think i should just jump into cherry now? The moss have not produce result yet.

peter, my advise would be that you might want to consider cycling your tank alittle longer before you start introducing cherries in. maybe in another 1 week or so.
