I have some cherry also this color. This only shows they are mature, i think.

hi sacy.. thats a very good red cherry you have, almost like a sakura..
i have quite a number of adult big mama who have this type of deep pinkish colouration..
they only show this type of nice colour when they are adult and stable in your tank.

[siansian]

Or bro your is also cherry shrimp but from the picture your shrimp on top there 1 full line without that line is pure cherry very simple right

cherry x malaya shrimp become like your shrimp that why got the line
But i never try to x before so can't answer you sometime back got people post maybe some other bro can help to give you the answer

[EvolutionZ]

huh? you mean those pink line are from malayan shrimp? who told you that?
cherry cross with malyan are wild colour.. or rather colourless.
that is a very nice and mature adult female cherry.
i have lots of female in my tank with the pinkish line behind.

[siansian]

Bro my female don't had the line who told me that i already said i never try to cross it before so can't answer him. saw in from the forum true or not need other people to answer i also want to know the answer thank

[EvolutionZ]

i have cross malayan and cherry before..
colour wise is colourless with abit red pigment and black dots..
if cherry x malayan can have full red cherry colour with a board pink strip along the body i don't mind having it though. for me, only my female above 2cm will have the nice pink strip.

[sacy]

oh. cherry can cross breed. learn something new ^^

but my tank water got any problem ma?
can it be my tank temp that are killing them?

Bro EvolutionZ try to cross Cherry x malayan will had the board pink strip along the body right thank for the answer
By the way you not sure pure cherry shrimp should not had the pink strip?

Bro sacy you got use diy fan ? the fan can help you to cool down to around 27- 29 maybe you can try it? temp 30 above above is too high not good for tthe shrimp

[EvolutionZ]

bro i don't understand what you talking..
im saying. i crossed malayan with cherry before, colour wise is colourless with abit red pigment and black dots.. they WILL NOT have the pink strip.

for those cherry who have the pink strip. mine are all pure cherry. i can confirm with you that malayan X cherry wont give you the pink strip behind.

hi sacy, i think your cherry shrimps are ok. mine also so red, but only 2 in the whole tank out of maybe 100 . those 2 are females i bought from qianhu if not wrong. mine also have a pink stripe at the back. anw, i think your temperature is abit high, try using a fan at least to bring it down. my 1ft shrimp tank using a rather strong AC fan( not sure what its use but confirm not for aquarium but is small), has manage to maintain a temperature of 24-26C, once lowest is 23. think your shrimps will thank you for the low temperature

sorry bro i miss the word if that why through another way around

for you, only my female above 2cm will have the nice pink strip
my i right to said that before 2cm the female shrimp dun had pink strip after reach 2cm size den had the pink strip

[hebi]

i think it should be more like when it were to reach that size, it would be mature and hence the colouring or pattern will appear. haha just what i believe .

[siansian]

Oh bro this 2 type of cherry i do had it still in my tank the true is the line even at the size of 1cm already can be seen no need to wait 2cm

c328 selling those XL cherry you go and see big shrimp got the line or not ? i get my from seaview a few year back the uncle over there tell me they get it from taiwan .In singapore we do had 2 type of common cherry the other cherry with line from where i do not know

Your tank temperature seems to be in high side, try add some fan and make sure you have correct fert dossing or maybe slightly less

[sacy]

noted. thanks bro..
got to diy fan liao .

btw. i got Co2. i can stop excel dosing right? or i can still dosing , but lesser?
i add excel is due to bba.

[Shadow]

for BBA you can use syringe and inject close/touching the BBA, that way you won't overdose. Shrimps is very sensitive creatures, so for fert try to dilute it first.

[sacy]

ok noted . thanks
