Cherry shrimp is a small ornamental shrimp, the normal adult body length is about 2 cm. If the breeding environment is suitable, individuals with good genes may grow to 3 cm or even 3.5 cm. But it's almost impossible to grow any longer. Their growth rate is relatively fast. Newborn young shrimps are only 0.2-0.3cm long, which is difficult to find if they are not carefully searched in the grass tank. After a few months of growth, they can grow up.
Generally speaking, individuals with a body length of about 1.5-2cm can reproduce. Some early shrimps may be able to reproduce when their body length reaches about 1 cm. It takes about two to three months for young shrimp to grow to the point where they can reproduce, from the time they are born. When they are actually cultured, they can grow faster by adjusting the water temperature to 22-26 degrees Celsius and the PH of the water to 6.0-8.4.
The eggs of Sakura shrimp are yellow. It usually takes 2-3 weeks to hatch. When they are about to hatch, their eggs change color, turning dark green or black. When the eggs are found to be discolored, they can be prepared for the birth of shrimp. Try not to have fish in the tank where shrimps are kept. Because the shrimp is very small, if it is kept in the same tank with the fish, it is likely to be eaten.
