Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. red) are gorgeous and practical additions to any peaceful freshwater aquarium. Their brilliant red hue complements green plants wonderfully, and their diligent foraging of green algae and organic debris makes them an ideal option for an aquarium clean up crew.
They are highly adaptable, capable of surviving in any freshwater aquarium with good filtration and water quality. However, they will truly thrive in planted aquariums where plants can provide them with places to hide and grazing surfaces for them to feed on. Once settled in, these lively freshwater shrimp will display vibrant red colors with occasional white accents. It’s important to note that new arrivals may appear clear until they fully acclimate to their surroundings and develop their characteristic red hue.
