Are there only cherry shrimps?

Hi,

I am sure what you have in your tank are no longer pure cherry shirmps strain.

You should have mix your cherries with malayan shirmps. And that explain why you have different colour shirmps in your tank.

I only have 2 malayan in the tank and I didn't see them breed.

Malayan can cross breed with cherry?

The shrimplet looks like cherry but not red.

From what I have seen before, young cherry shrimp are not very red in the first place.

Bro,

Its just very normal that you will have some other Cherries that are not red or very red... but as long as Majority of the Cherries that you have are Red then it should be alright.

Are you using Ada Soil in your Cherries tank???.. Ada Soil will have to enhance on the Colour texture of your Cherries too other than putting the PH at 16 to 17...
