Amano Shrimp And Cherries

[Nick16]

hi, i have amano's in my shrimp tank and want to get some cherries but i dont want 1,000,000 babies after a month! so will the amano's eat the baby cherry shrimp? thanks.

No.

Nope, but a population explosion of cherries isn't likely to happen like it would with snails. I wouldn't worry about being overrun, and if you feel you have too many you can always sell some or feed some to your fish.

will mollies and golden barbs aeat the cherries? or just the babies. its to much hassle to post them as they have to be in water. people can collect some tho.

Barbs will defo eat the adults and mollies will probably eat the babies.

To be honest your probably not gonna end up with millions, they do take quite a while to reproduce to a decent number. Its not like 10 becomes 100 in a few weeks.
