I could never count all of mine lol

but a lot.

then they'd die within 2 weeks.

These are 3 weeks old-theyre all out tonight and easy to count but they do hide under the slate so there could be more............

lol wicked!

I wish i had luck with cherry shrimp.

I would say once a month i lose an adult-out of the blue-healthy one day then upside down in my endler tank. Maybe they are a weak strain.

Is that all from 1 shrimp? Most I've had that I can count is 18 babies (all same size give or take), but thats from 2 females in a tank with fully grown guppies which probably made easy meals out of most of the young.

I think so shroob. I have only seen one female pregnant - the other two havent had any eggs to see yet.(If they are female too.)

I have absolutely no idea! My cherry shimpr are housed in an extremely well planted aquarium with bog wood and coconut shell caves, moss, dwarf hairgrass...... It's a wonder I see my shrimp really.
