. Can cherry shrimp breed on active soil? Mark follows 10 juvenile Neocaridina for 90 days in a former Crystal Red shrimp setup and checks whether the colony survived, matured and reproduced.
This is one real tank observation, not a controlled comparison. The shrimp were randomly selected, the tank received limited maintenance, and the result should not be treated as proof that every active-soil setup suits Neocaridina. Watch the pH, KH, source water and soil behaviour in your own aquarium.
