I got some pretty young cherries from Gnatster a couple months back and was wondering how old they need to be to start breeding?

The first time I got Cherries they were tiny too, and I had new babies within a few months. So, not very long.

I agree with Jan although in my shrimp tank, I really can't tell one shrimp from another or really paid much attention to how old they were at breeding time. Still, I would guess a few months would be all it would take.

Typically it takes 8-12 weeks for a cherry shrimp to reach sexual maturity.
