I was googling red cherry shrimp today and found a chat transcript I've not read before: http://badmanstropicalfish.com/stories/chat/chat_9-16-05.html There are links to photos showing males/females and descriptions of egg carrying females which helped me realize that my oldest shripm have been breeding, but probably eat the young. I've seen the terracotta/yellowish 'saddle' several times on my largest shrimp. In a larger tank, the babies may survive better, but things are pretty 'concentrated' in this 2 gallon tank.
