      Red Cherry Shrimp are omnivorous and will happily eat a variety of foods. They graze on algae, detritus, and small insects in the wild.

      Our shop always delivers healthy shrimp and fish with the best color of their own.

      However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period

      To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:

      🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.

      🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home. 

      🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.

      🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.

      🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.

      Very happy with the shrimp I received, they are thriving, doing much better than the plant I recently purchased which unfortunately was destroyed during transit.

      These little guys are great, they don't stop. The look really cool swimming around and aren't bothered by tiny fish like Neon Tetras. Highly recommend these little red guys.
