Newbie to fish/shrimp keeping

[smallboy]

Good evening,

I started with guppies two weeks ago and all ten died within a week. Now I have started with Cherrry Shrimp. Quite interesting looking at them and the maintenance cost is lower. Looking forward to all your advice and sharing.

Thanks!

did you cycle your tank? guppies are hardy fish, hardier than shrimp, so wonder if you shrimp will last

Based on my limited experience, my shrimps seem to be doing well. Experience molting and the colour has changed to bright red. At least they are not dying daily like my guppies.

I tried taking photos using marco mode, but my canon camera couldn't focus well. Will try again and post it.

Thanks for your warmth greeting.

Hi,

I managed to take some close up photos. Appreciate any comments. Are they cherry or sakura?

hello smallboy

I'm no expert, but looks like Cherries to me . Envy, they look redder than mine! Haha. Sakuras are smaller in size & have deeper red. There's a section on Invertebrates, happy browsing!
