    Pregnant cherry shrimp "scratching" her eggs?

    One of them finally showed some eggs(she had gotten big), so I got some water from the tank and the filter media, and transferred her there. She keeps hiding and using her swimerettes to "scratch" the eggs though. Is she dropping them?

    Safer to transfer cherry shrimp or remain in tank?

    The thing is, the shrimp are extremely difficult to find since they hide under the vast amounts of moss, so would it not stress the berried shrimp if I try to catch her?

    Safer to transfer cherry shrimp or remain in tank?

    One of my cherry shrimps is now berried, and I'm wondering whether I should transfer her out of the tank with the neon tetras and to an established tank with nothing else, or just let her stay there. Said tank with tetras is a 10G with a lot of java moss and hiding places, so would it be okay to...

    So is my RCS finally pregnant?

    ALSO: One of my females was digging through her belly area, and I saw some skin coming off. Is she molting?

    So is my RCS finally pregnant?

    I was staring at my largest female RCS today(lasted an hour, mind you), and she has these small bubbles around the middle portion of her body. She swam in a circle, and I saw yellow dots. So is she? I'm just so excited.

    Having trouble differentiating male and female cherry shrimp

    I don't even know if I have any males at all. I recently bought six, and out of them, 2 are very large and really red, so I assumed them female. The rest I'm having extreme difficulty with. One I assumed male molted and has a yellow saddle now. I want to go breed them, so should I just buy more...

    Do red cherry shrimp eat the brown algae on aquarium walls?

    Also, if I trim the Java Moss in the tank, will the parameters rise, since there's a ton of stuff in it, or will it be do no harm?

    Do red cherry shrimp eat the brown algae on aquarium walls?

    Can I take them out for a bit and then scrub the wall, or can they just be inside the tank while I go at it?

    Do red cherry shrimp eat the brown algae on aquarium walls?

    WRONG TITLE, this was for another thread. Anyway, my neon tetras get these lumps on their bellies and have difficulty swimming downwards whenever a feeding session is over. I've read about NTD, and I'm wondering if this is it? They aren't losing color, and they still are schooling. Or is this...
