So, you’re thinking about breeding Red Cherry Shrimp or another type of Neocaridina Shrimp? Here are 7 key elements you’ll need to be successful.
1. A fully cycled shrimp tank that’s been established for about 2 to 4 weeks.
2. Clean and stable water conditions as shrimp are sensitive to sudden fluctuations and harmful toxins like ammonia and nitrite.
3. Java Moss or other plants for the female to retreat to after molting or while giving birth.
4. Shrimp that are around 3 to 6 months of age which is when they reach sexual maturity.
5. A ratio of 3 females for every male to increase the chances of mating and producing offspring.
6. A varied but also protein-rich diet to help with molting and egg production. Frozen bloodworms make for an excellent choice.
7. Patience. It takes time for new shrimp to get used to their tank and there’s never a guarantee that all the females will become pregnant. Stick with it and in time, you’ll notice new babies starting to appear.
