Well I don't seem able to get cherries to breed but the amano in my 60cm is huge and busily fanning her eggs.
I couldn't believe I had a pregnant shrimp so youtubed it and she definitely is.
I know they are very unlikely to survive, even if they get to the larval stage but i was pleased to see it as I am taking the fact to assure myself the water quality must be good. I did find a very large ekoskeleton yesterday during water change.
Not likely to be hers though as she is very big

Nice to see a berried shrimp, isn't it? Female amanos can grow huge, mine were bigger than my dwarf chain loaches. The males were a lot smaller.
My female amanos were constantly carrying eggs. As soon as one set hatched, another took their place. I could tell be the change in colour. But I never saw even one larva. With the fish I had in the tank, even if the larvae has lived only a few minutes before the lack of salt killed them, the fish would have eaten them.

Well, that's nature I suppose. Big fleas eat little fleas. Save me feeding the fish protein!
