Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs
I have kept Scarlett Badis before I would not recommend them for a community, they are tiny and shy and slow eaters they do not compete well with others, there is a larger version called Badis Badis or Blue Perch that might be more suited but I've not kept those myself, if Harlequins are suitable ex...
