me 2, how do they not get shredded in the canister filter?
I use Eheim 2215 canisters.
The impeller is on the way out of the canister, so they never come close to it.
The female holds the eggs until they hatch.....the shrimplets aren't much bigger than the eggs so they get sucked right into the filter inlet.
I could put a prefilter on the canisters in the 92G but I think it makes cleaning the filter more interesting.
My 20G shrimp tank however, has a prefilter made from pantyhose.
There would be just far far to many shrimp in that filter if I didn't use a prefilter.

wow glitch, how many did you orginally put in?
I started about 6 months ago with 50 shrimp. There are lots of hiding places for these little guys, so even though my GBR's have developed a taste for the shrimplets, I will always have tons of shrimp in this tank.

What do you do with them? Are they big enough or are they fish food?
I have been putting them in my 20G shrimp breeding tank.
Waiting for the population in there to become great enough to start selling them.
As things are now.......I've believe I've reached my goal.
The pictures are of the shrimp waiting to be released into the breeding tank.

are those cherry shrimp? I can't seem to find them around here. My kids really like the ones they have seen in the pictures around here. I wish i could find some locally.
Yep......Red Cherry's....what's local for you?
If you're interested and live close enough.
I've got quite a few that I have to get rid of.
I currently only have 40hour heat packs and can only take non cc paypal.
The paypal situation will soon change though.
