Any advice on what to do with some very happy cherry shrimp who are a bit too full of the joys of spring?!
I bought three about a month ago. We now have approx 25 cherry shrimp and all the babies are rapidly catching up to the adults in size.
Any idea how long they take to reach reproductive age? Are we going to have 5000 shrimp by the end of the year?
I also have 6 neons and a plec. They seem happy enough all in there together. I have bought some shrimp food, but whenever I put it in the tank, the neons go mad for it and then look a bit bloated and odd sized so I've stopped feeding it. The shrimp seem to be OK with the algae on the rock and in the filter.
I have a 70l tank. Do I need to get rid of some / all of the shrimp?
