i have a 3 gallon with 4 cherry shrimp and 1 ghost shrimp...are cherrys easy to breed? does anything help? 1 is huge, i bought her seperatly. id say shes a little shy of an inch. the newer ones are about half an inch...are the half inchers too small to breed?
 
The small ones might be a bit small to breed immediately but they are sexually mature at approx 5 months. At a size of a half inch I would guess they are about 3 months old. So long as you have both males and females they should breed eventually.
 
Well, people say they breed like rabbits :lol:

Just make sure you have both male and female and keep water very clean :D

Half an inch is probably too young to breed yet.
 
They'll breed, don't worry about that!!

Mine took about 2-3 months before i noticed more, then the population seemed to explode! Now i'm over run!
