Help on care for shrimplets!

[lsk]

Hi all,

My cherry has just gave birth to many shrimplets. I placed them in the fish net with very small holes(Shrimplets unable to escape) and left it in the breeder container in the main tank(with filter bubbles). I've placed moss inside , as the mother cherry has yet to let all the shrimplets off from her stomach, I've placed her inside too so when she let go more, they will be in the net.

Is there any thing I need to look out for?
What do they eat?(can i feed normal pellets?)

Regards,
sk.

Hi SK

If your tank have no other fishes, you might want to just leave them in the tank, however putting them in the net is ok as well. Cherry shrimp eats any food pallet, I feed them guppies flake as well, so not to worry.

mosura bio-plast from what i heard is good for shrimplets

the shrimplets will also nibble the algae present in the tank... mosura bio-plus is greatly recommended..

They seems to be doing fine.. I put java moss in the net so that they can eat and I've also crush hikari crab cuisine in... hope they grow up well! my 1st batch of babies. I think theres only 5-8 pieces.

actually shrimplets will nibble everywhere for food. U can somehow release them in the tank if theres no presence of fish inside. That will make them be able to search for food and you can also add mosura bio plus for them as additional food
