Cherry blossom shrimp is also known as flame and rose shrimp (different from Alaskan rose shrimp). Cherry blossom shrimp is found in Taiwan and some other Southeast Asian countries. Because of its small size, there is no aggressive and destructive claw foot, and the diet is mixed, so it is kept in a grass tank, which will not harm other organisms, and it can also remove food debris and do meticulous cleaning of the algae attached to aquatic plants. Cherry blossom shrimp adult shrimp body length of about 2 cm, water quality requirements of about pH7, the best water temperature of 22 to 26 degrees, the breeding method belongs to the large egg type, cherry blossom shrimp because it belongs to large eggs, so reproduction is still relatively easy, unlike the small egg type of Yamato algae shrimp, the breeding process requires a soda environment, there is a cooling process, bright colors, slightly transparent, when there are eggs in the body can be seen directly, its cephalothorax, abdomen and the third pair of foot feet have red and white stripes, and covered with spinous protrusions, and its tentacles and other steps are white.
< h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > introduction</h2>
The transparent color of the male shrimp is a little bluish in color, the female shrimp is bright red throughout, and the bright red color of the female shrimp depends on the water conditions and cherry blossom shrimp
Food, individual size and individual differences, especially the female shrimp holding the eggs, are all dark red. The maximum body length of 3CM mainly feeds on algae and plankton, not picky eaters, can be fed nutritious cooked spinach, frozen red blood worms, etc., adapt to water temperature belongs to large eggs, prolific shrimp, breeding is very easy, the mother shrimp can increase nutrient food when holding eggs, can use natural production methods, but over acidic water may cause her to reproduce difficulties, female shrimp once a month to hold eggs When breeding: temperature 24-26 PH 6.5-7.2 It is best to be 6.8 the most suitable DH for the German water hardness measurement unit.

This shrimp is not naturally grown, but was improved by Taiwan and is native to Taiwan and southern China.

<h2 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sexually mature cherry blossom shrimp female shrimp has a yellow lump on the back, which is not the shrimp's stomach, it is the shrimp's ovaries. </h2>
< h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > color</h3>
Male shrimp transparent ribbon point blue color, female shrimp throughout the bright red, female shrimp bright red color depends on the water conditions, food, individual size and individual differences, especially the egg-hugging female shrimp, but also the whole body dark red, the maximum body length of 3 cm.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > mating</h3>
After the female shrimp matures, the male shrimp mate with it, the male shrimp approach and chase the female shrimp, and then lie under the female shrimp for synchronous swimming, the male shrimp turn upwards, the two shrimp abdomen is opposite, the head and tail are the same, but occasionally the head and tail are upside down, the female shrimp is held, and the semen is released to paste the position between the 3rd to 5th pairs of steps of the female shrimp.
< h3 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > growth and development</h3>
The male shrimp injects sperm into the female shrimp's genitals, and the female shrimp's ovaries will gradually mature. When the mother shrimp spawns eggs, the convulsive movement squeezes out a small amount of sperm to achieve in vitro fertilization, at which point, the mother shrimp begins to hold eggs. Cherry blossom shrimp are golden yellow at the beginning of the egg, if it turns black and sometimes turns green, it means that the eggs have matured and the shrimp are about to hatch! [2]
A few weeks later, the baby shrimp was born. Some small shrimp can already be seen a little red in the first few days of birth, and these will grow up to perform well, in addition, usually the female cherry blossom shrimp will be much redder than the male shrimp.

< h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > rearing</h2>
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > feeding difficulty</h3>
Difficulty: Easy to wait
Features: Maximum body length 2cm. It feeds mainly on algae and plankton, is not picky eaters, and can be fed nutritiously
Rich in cooked spinach, frozen red blood worms, etc., it is very adaptable to water temperature and easy to raise. It can be polycultured with most docile lamp fish, but not with large or fiercer species.
Large eggs, multi-fertile shrimp, breeding is very easy, the mother shrimp can increase nutritious food when holding eggs, can use natural production methods, but over acidic water may cause her to reproduce difficulties, the mother shrimp once a month to hold eggs.
< h3 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > breeding conditions</h3>
First of all, the most important thing is the water quality, and strong filtration is the first guarantee.
High oxygenated environment, 1/4 of the water can be changed weekly.
Enough concealment and darkness can provide shrimp shrimp with enough security to help develop color.
It is better to have Moss in the tank.
It is best not to mix with black shells to avoid hybridization, so that the quality is worse and worse.
Staple algae and occasional and small-fed protein feed.
Using ADA mud, fresh soil can provide trace elements.
Calcium supplementation, crustaceans need calcium supplementation.
Submerged wood is also important, and the humus acid released by sunken wood is beneficial for shrimp growth.
To have good lighting, light is very important for the body color of the shrimp, and the color of the shrimp under natural light is certainly not good. Shrimp farming is best not to raise fish or less shrimp-loving fish, otherwise the newborn shrimp are smaller than the shrimp in the harvest and become fish feed.
