Cherry Shrimp - Red 1cm
Description & care
Red Cherry Shrimp for a planted freshwater aquarium
Red Cherry Shrimp are the red colour variety of Neocaridina davidi. These small freshwater shrimp spend much of their time grazing on plants, wood and other aquarium surfaces, adding movement and colour to an established tank.
Choose your quantity
The individual option is listed as a juvenile approximately 1 cm long, supplied unsexed. Choose one shrimp, a pack of 10 or a pack of 20 using the option selector. Check your selected option for the current price and availability.
Young cherry shrimp may show less red than mature shrimp, and colour intensity can vary between individuals. If you are comparing varieties, browse our Neocaridina cherry shrimp collection.
Before you add them
Prepare a cycled aquarium with stable water conditions, plants or moss, and sheltered spaces. Test the water before adding shrimp: ammonia and nitrite should both be zero. A sponge filter or protected filter intake helps keep small shrimp away from moving parts.
They graze on algae and biofilm, but still need appropriate feeding and routine aquarium care. Offer small amounts of suitable shrimp food and remove leftovers. Choose tank mates carefully, as fish may eat shrimp, especially juveniles.
Read our Cherry Shrimp Care & Buying Guide for preparation and feeding, and follow our acclimation guide when introducing new arrivals.
