Red cherry shrimp, or RCS, are in a group called "dwarf shrimp". The adults can reach up to 1.5 inches (4cm) in length. fish tank light coverRCS need no special tanks, foods, dances, or shamans to breed. buy fish aquarium online in delhiTank conditions are easy to set up. fish tank coral reefThey are a fun addition to an aquarium and eat uneaten fish food. Set up your tank. You will need a 5 to 10 gallon or 20 to 40 litre tank, a heater (to keep temperature at 75F-80F or 24-27C during cool nights), gravel (dark will stress the shrimps less), and a bubble filter that is cycled.

To cycle a bubble filter in a new tank, put the new bubble filter in an old tank, turn it on, and wait for 4 weeks. RCS will not survive the cycling process and will die from high levels of ammonia or nitrites. Do not use a power filter unless the whole intake is covered with pantyhose (or something with similar very small holes) and secured with a zip tie (otherwise shrimp may get sucked into the filter and pureed). Buy a master test kit.required Purchase 5-10 red cherry shrimp. RCS cost $1.50 - $3 (US) each at a pet store. They cost much less per shrimp via online on websites and forums, many people also offer free shipping like $20 or so for 20 or so shrimp, it is easy to get a good deal these days. Try to get a mix of clear (males can have some red as well) males and red females. If you get 10 shrimp, your chance of getting both males and females is pretty much guaranteed. If someone wants to ship with a method that takes longer than 3 days, ask for pictures about how the shrimp are packaged, Cherry shrimp are VERY hard to kill and will most likely have no problem with a week in transit.

Take into consideration the weather over the distance it will be shipped, ask for heat packs or ice packs in the shipping container to help counter ambient temperatures if that is a potential problem. Also request breather bags. Do not buy RCS (or any fish or shrimp) that the pet store received in the last 3 or 4 days. Any deaths from the stress of shipping tend to occur during the 3-4 days after putting them in the store tanks, so buy after this period. Buy only shrimp that have been in the store tanks at least 4 days. It is normal and desirable for the shipping bag containing shrimp to be filled with 1/3 to 1/2 water. This maximizes the trapped oxygen in the bag during shipping. This only applies loosely to the bags that are just normal plastic. If shipping with these bags, see if seller can use pure oxygen opposed to just air. Fill your tank with water that you have added dechlorinator to. Get the shrimp used to the water using these steps. Dump the shrimp in the tank.

Set your heater to about 80F or 27C. Feed the shrimp flake food, sinking pellets, or blanched squash or zucchini. Shrimp eat anything a fish would. You do not even need small pieces of food as they will rip off a piece of flake and feed it to themselves. Some shrimp do not like algae tablets, some do. (Foods with copper compounds are not ok for RCS.) If there is still food in the tank when you feed them, skip that feeding and check again later. Feed very small amounts once per day, especially if you just start with 10 shrimp. A flake the size of your pinky fingernail should last 10 RCS about 2, perhaps 3 days. Do not overfeed as it will result in harmless worms like detritus or planaria. If this happens do a water change and if you have no fry (RCS babies) then do a gravel vac and start to feed less food or not as often. To blanch zucchini, put one slice in a microwave safe bowl. Cover with about an inch or so or 3cm of water. Cook on high for 1 minute. Let cool for 20 minutes, then drop into tank.

If the zucchini floats, weight it down with a zip tie, a piece of plastic, or a marble, but not metal. If water temperature is warm enough and there is enough food, they will simply breed. In a community tank it's essential to provide some shelters for shrimps that have just molted. Even in a shrimp only tank this will be appreciated. There are special shelters for sale but even a few small terracotta flowerpots will do nicely. A darker gravel, like black, makes the shrimp more red as they try to match the color of the substrate. You will occasionally find whitish, hollow, shrimp-shaped shells in your shrimp tank. Shrimp shed their shells so they can grow. A shell (or exoskeleton) will look whitish, clear and hollow. A truly dead shrimp will look pink, or look more solid white. It will likely have friends who are eating it. Shrimps love a small piece of boiled carrot. It also improves their color. Do remove it within 24 hours or it will pollute the water. Shrimp who are getting ready to molt will form a "u" shape.

They will bend and try to touch their tail. If you are lucky will see them shed. It is very fast. They flick out of their old skin in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a perfect hollow replica of themselves. Red Cherry Shrimp eat many more types of algae than the Caridina japonica (Amano shrimp), which are often regarded as the best cleaners for fish tanks. Perhaps the best way to grow java moss is to simply let your Red Cherry Shrimp pick it clean of any algae. RCS can survive cold temps down to 60F for long periods of time, as long as the temperature change was slow (over hours instead of minutes). However they will not breed at this temperature. When adding new water, add dechlorinator to a 5 gallon or 20 litre bucket. The new water should be about the same temperature as the tank water. Use your fingers to feel the temperature. The temperature of the two waters do not have to be exactly the same but it must be close. If your tap water has high levels of bad chemicals, like nitrates, you can use Reverse Osmosis water instead of tap water mixed with dechlorinator.

Tap water sometimes contains a myriad of other chemicals that can alter your water's parameters. These include phosphates which is a leading cause of algae blooms. Scientists have linked phosphate levels to higher growth of cyanobacteria. (Discover Magazine, January 2009.) For best results, shrimp should be given their own tank with no other fish. Some fish will eat these small shrimp, like: oscars, angelfish, cichlids, most catfish (except veggie eaters). Other fish are safe with shrimp, like livebearers (guppies, platies, mollies). The biggest mistake a new person can make is using too many chemicals. If your ammonia=0, nitrite=0, nitrate<50, and ph is 6.0-8.0, you should be fine. You should never use pH up or pH down, stress coat, or other chemicals. They will only compound your problems. The only chemical you need is a dechlorinator which neutralizes chlorine and chloramines. RCS can survive a variety of pH ranges as long as they get used to it slowly. If you are intending to sell these RCS its best if you separate them into two groups after a month of growth.

Split them into "Fire Red" which is the expensive kind and "Sakura" which is an alternate name for the RCS. Fire Reds are the ones with the bright Crimson body colour. Shrimp in general are sensitive to, and can be killed by chloramines, chlorine, ammonia, nitrites, and high nitrates. Make sure your water dechlorinator takes care of chlorine and chloramines. Do not remove any empty shells of molted shrimp. Many will consume this to get back valuable minerals. Uncoated heavy metals like zinc, lead (from plant weights) and elemental copper will kill shrimp, especially copper. If a tank has ever had elemental copper in it, you will have a hard time keeping shrimp alive. Copper sulfate in fish foods is safe as it is a copper compound in low amounts. The dangerous stuff is elemental copper (copper metal). The copper compound found in snail killing concoctions is toxic to shrimp and inverts because it is so concentrated. Many fish will eat adult shrimp, as well as baby shrimp.
