Cherry Shrimp with Eggs (Neocaridina heteropoda)

Red Cherry Shrimp Breeding
Red Cherry Shrimp are one of the simplest animals to breed in the aquarium. There are 3 main things to be concerned with when attempting to breed Red Cherry Shrimp, inducing breeding, breeding / carrying of eggs, and raising the young. If all 3 variables are taken care of Red Cherry Shrimp will breed in an aquarium and their population will grow rapidly.
Inducing Red Cherry Shrimp to breed only requires a sexed pair of shrimp, stable water parameters, and a food source. Male Red Cherry Shrimp are smaller and less colorful than the females. Females often have a yellow "saddle" that is the eggs developing in her ovaries. When Red Cherry Shrimp are juveniles it is nearly impossible to determine their sex. Another sexual difference that is less obvious is females have a rounder and longer tail section. This sexual difference can be used to determine the sex of less colorful females, such as wild colored.
They have 20-30 eggs, which take 2-3 weeks to hatch. The eggs are green or yellow, depending on the color of the saddle. They turn darker and darker until the young shrimp hatch after about three weeks. As the eggs near the end stages of growth, tiny dark eyespots of the developing shrimp within can be observed.
