    Hi there, i am still a newbie in shrimp keeping so i would like some advice on getting pregnant shrimps. The last time i had a pregnant one was two weeks ago and i had seen some threads about shrimps breeding like nobody's business.
    My tank is a two feet tank
    Moderately planted
    Temp:26c to 25c
    properly cycled and water a bit yellowish(driftwood)
    I have it for two months but the shrimps have yellow saddles but not getting pregnant.
    I need advice!! Thanks

    How many cherries you have in your 2ft? Good water quality is one of the key for shrimp rearing and breeding.

    Count the shrimp, and keep track of how many are in there.

    Maybe the male died, or is MIA?
    This would explain why the females can't get pregnant.
