Thank you! And okay! I was wondering if they would interbreed and make like purple or something you know? Haha also A lot of people have the red cherry shrimp so I was kind of wondering if anybody on here sold snowball or blue pearl. And do you know the BEST setup for shrimp? I will be having DW and plan to make my own clay cave which I think would be cool. I know they need a lot plants, but should I use gravel, or sand, do I need substrate? Probably dumb questions but I'm kind of new at this so yeah haha
No problemo
Yeah, I wish! Lol Technically this does happen though, people have mixed shrimp and have discovered new species through interbreeding.
I don't think anyone on here sells snowballs or blue pearls. If you can't find anyone on here in the classifieds, try over at Plantedtank.net. You have to be a member to see the shop and swap section over there but registration is easy and free. They definitely have snowballs and blue pearls over there. You can also try AlphaProBreeders.com, but this is gunna be much more expensive then buying from plantedtank.net.
The best setup for shrimp would basically be lots of filtration, and lower flow with lots of moss.You don't need substrate, but it's definitely better to have it. You can use gravel or sand, but if using gravel, stay away from larger gravel, trust me lol The darker the substrate, the more the shrimp will pop out, color wise. My favorite shrimp tank substrate is Fluval Shrimp Stratum. It's awesome
lol
A clay cave does sounds cool! They actually make these charcoal tubes called breeding tubes too. Those are really cool looking, especially if you tie moss to the top of them. Try looking up Cholla Wood, I think you might like them. They're used in shrimp tanks because the shrimp like picking at them, eating all the goodies that grow off them
There's no such thing as a dumb question, ask away! Feel free to PM me anytime too
