Hey bro,
Good to know that you finally got your sakura!

Love the first shrimp... THe colour is nice... The second pic is also a sakura? No offence, but the colour isn't so red... It looks like a cherry also...

Good work!

**EvolutionZ** · 4th Nov 2007, 21:08

2nd pic don't think its a sakura..

**Radiance** · 4th Nov 2007, 22:55

BTW, anyone know if sakura and cherries the same breed? Some say yes and some say no... which made me quite confuse now...

Any bro can clarify?

Hi guys, all these sakuras were bought from clementi, in my tank i do not house any crs, the only shrimps i have are sakuras, as they were sold to me as sakuras, so i assume they are sakuras! lol!

I think cherries and sakuras are of the same breed and they will breed with each other.

probably just a good way to make $$ with a fancy name.

**Radiance** · 5th Nov 2007, 13:47

I see.... am I right to say, by selective breeding, the normal cherries we have at home can also breed out "chilli" red sakura?

**hwchoy** · 5th Nov 2007, 13:53

I know as a fact, that cherry shrimp cohorts usually throw up a few percent of "super red" specimens. these guys are extremely red with larger and denser spots, and remains so throughout their lives.

I see... thanks for sharing the information

**marle** · 5th Nov 2007, 23:43

Look guys the 2nd shrimp in the second picture has became much redder, that day was probably due to stress. Am sure as its the only sakura thats pregnant.

Compare the redness between the poor grade crs and sakura.

WOW....... you got it from c328? why that day i go i never saw any????

**marle** · 6th Nov 2007, 12:00

i think the sakuras are sold out? i manage to get a pack, when i asked the owner of the lfs, they said it will take awhile before they start selling again due to the sakuras being very small in size.

**Radiance** · 7th Nov 2007, 13:42

WOW! Very nice... good that the colour has resume after a while

This was the shrimp i used to have in early 2006. Used to be called Cherry Shrimp.

**Radiance** · 8th Nov 2007, 22:53

Hey bro Kensk,
Nice cherry... do you still keeping them?

**kensk** · 8th Nov 2007, 23:54

Not anymore

**YC-TEO** · 11th Nov 2007, 22:15

The cherry shrimp you have in 2006 do look like sakura shrimp but cherry shrimp do have a line on top for female and for sakura i dont see any line on top for female.

**hwchoy** · 11th Nov 2007, 22:31

should be the same species just colour morph, I see them in the same cohort.

**marle** · 12th Nov 2007, 21:04

yup i think they are the same species too..think its through selective breeding thus the redness

Real Sakura shrimps are marine shrimps, they are white in colour until caught they will turn pinkish to reddish in colour.
It is a delicacy in Japan.
