Wow yours are so red! Where did you get them?

Do you have other fish in the tank with them? If so what kinds?

Hey,
They came mixed in with a batch of amanos at my lfs , must have been very stressed as in defence they looked very similar, i insisted they picked out the pinker of the 'amanos', i got 6, there was possibly 10 more mixed in about 200 amanos, luckily they indeed were stressed cherries, and after a week or so, the colour returned.

the eggs developed well and i have a few more now, i have seen one shrimplet on 4 seperate occasions, about 5mm in length.

They are in a what is now v heavily planted cherry shrimp only tank.
