Overview

A colourful freshwater favourite.

Red Cherry Shrimp are one of the most popular freshwater dwarf shrimp in the aquarium hobby. Their vibrant red colouration, peaceful nature and manageable care needs make them especially well suited to planted aquariums.

They spend much of the day grazing on biofilm, algae and tiny food particles found across plants, wood and other aquarium surfaces.

The best results come from mature, stable aquariums with gentle filtration, natural cover and consistent water quality.

Behaviour

Breeding

Mature females carry eggs beneath the abdomen until they hatch as fully formed miniature shrimp. Stable water and good food availability support successful breeding.
