For Sale: Proven Cherry Shrimp Colony

[MINIMAL]

7 adults, 3 male, 4 female, roughly 100 or more juveniles. They will come with several live plants, to give them something to hold on to during shipping. The juvenile shrimp are around 2 weeks old. Most of the adults are very dark red, and a few are crystal reds. As most of you know RCS are $3-$8 each in a LFS, so there is over $300 worth of shrimp. I simply do not have the time to keep up with them any longer. Shrimp will be in a Kordon breather bag, inside of a styrofoam cooler. Let me know if you have any questions.

$75 includes shipping.

To be honest, I have no idea. I was using RO/DI for a long time, and they were not spawning at all. I then started doing 10% wc's every other day, and used water from my discus tank to replace what I took out. My discus tank gets by weekly 50% changes from tap water. I have a link below to the most recent water quality report from my water source. I do not have a TDS meter to check it, otherwise I would let you know for sure. I can however, send a seperate sample of the water in a glass jar for you to test if you buy the shrimp, so that you can be positive of what perameters they are breeding in. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Here is the most recent test results from the tank.

PH - 7.1
Ammo - 0
Nitrate - 15-20
Nitrite - 0
Temp - 78 F

Shrimp Food - Natural algae growth in tank, supplemented with 1 pellet of new life spectrum discus formula every two days.

Substrate - Black Beauty Blasting Sand/Slate Rock

Plants - Hydrilla, Micro Sword, Christmas Moss, Pennywort.
