No my Shrimp are just babies, I only got them about 5 days ago, aparently the one that's already red is a female so hopefully they will start to breed once they get older
Just take your danios to your lfs and give them to them then you've got a free tank

From my experience red cherry shrimp don't take much to breed at all, in fact, if you have enough males / females, in a planted tank with dirt, chances are within 2 months or so, you should have pregnant shrimp... at least that was what happened with me...

I think it was a week maybe a week and a half for my eggs to hatch
It's funny because today I looked in there and now there's tiny Ramshore snail everywhere (before they were just little specks)

Idk if it is really possible for snails to get ich, I just know that it had white fluffy stuff on it.
And my camera must really suck cuz I cant get a clear pic. Any advice about taking pics of aquariums?

Snails can't get ich. They do get a white decay on their body slime very fast though.

So, how can I prevent this decay? Or is this ony after they die

Ich is white, but not fluffy. It's more like sand.

Yeah I've seen them fed to Mbu's on youtube and they loved them
Apple Snails get really big so if you've got a small puffer might be a good idea to feed them the snails before they get to big
