I've bought cherry shrimps twice from Aquabid.com
They were never able to increase their population because I had them in a 10 gallon community tank with a few fish...the one where my home bred Dwarf Gourami is in. All small shrimps were eaten I guess, but there are still several adult cherry shrimps alive.
In my other tank, I set free 13 Yellow Shrimps (same species as red cherry shrimps, but different color). They bred like crazy because there is one huge java moss. A few months later, I was able to move over 50 of them to my 40 gallon community tank without even noticing any decrease in the population in the 10 gallon.
You can buy Red Cherry shrimps for as low as $14 shipped with 10+ of them from Aquabid.com
Yellow Shrimps are more expensive because they are less common than red cherry.
