No problem, they won't cross breed.
But i really suggest that you keep purely Cherry in the tank since you are intending to breed them. This will keep your tank from looking messy.![]()

Oh thanks Hong, just researching only, cause my shrimp tank only have cherries and probably some malayan shrimp. Taking them out day by day, no choice as they are shy and well hidden.

Okk, all the best for your tank, hope that it will be full of Red Cherry.![]()


I heard somewhere that cherries can cross with malayan. dono Don't know how true it is. But crs, cherries and yamato can be mixed without any crosses. Tried n and tested.![]()

yeap, there have been some saying that malayan will cross with cherry. So in my cherry shrimp tank, i am like you trying to scope out the malayan one by one. They were added to test water during initial setup.
Let me share with you, my way of taking out the malayan. In the day, you can forget about doing it, malayan will hide and never come out. so after you off the light for 1, 2 hrs at night, they will come out. Then when you on the light, with some luck they are there for you to scope up. I did that, and now are left with 1 malayan still in the tank.

i will try to leave it until i convert my 3ft tank. .to moss shrimp tank. thanks for your advice skysky





okie thanks sky

lol true me still searching for the malayan in my tank i put in 150... hmm.. doubt all still survive hehe.. due to Badis.. sigh eat them for food...


haha thanks for sharing your method of catching the malayans. i have 2 of them in a cycling tank and i'm having problems locating them as theres a driftwood in the middle with lots of hiding spaces.
