    Hi guys, just to share a quick tip on getting quality Red Cherries or even Sakura in a cheaper way.

    Check out the below:











    I got them at less than $1 each, which are actually cheaper those 5-piece sakura shrimp in bags. The quality, well, first 2 pictures are definite as good as my Sakura collection and the last 3 pictures are consider very red when view with naked eyes, best thing is: They are all pregnant mama!

    These are from the cherry tank at polyart, just hand pick the super red one like me, meantime, can try to get some shrimplets FOC too

    Just to be careful when introduce them into your main tank, the water from the cherry tank are dirty and full of Planaria & Hydra, and I do spot them in my tank after introduce the shrimp.



    Good luck guys

    I was just at Polyart, current batch in the RCS Tank there are a few fairly red ones, but none that would really pass as Sakura.

    Hi,

    The cherry shrimp in the first picture is quite stunning! It makes me regret getting some sakuras for more than $1 when they have almost the same quality. Btw, I wish you the best of luck in getting more sakuras in the next generation.

    greetings,

    Yes, it is very much depend on your luck, for those who have a good relationship with the boss, can try to ask when there is a new batch coming in.

    Just found a blue pearl in those sakura tanks. No wonder getting those funny shrimps. The LFS really know how to make business. Sell all the females berried with other genes and keep the males in the farm for breeding.
