Red Cherry Shrimp
A Red Cherry Shrimp can be a great little addition to an aquarium. Their bright red color really adds beauty to a tank, especially one loaded with live green aquarium plants and black gravel or substrate. Cherry Shrimp or Neocaridina heteropoda, also known simply as Cherry Shrimp, are natives of Taiwan. But most available in stores today are bred in captivity as they can reproduce in fresh water. Red Cherry Shrimp are active and interesting to watch.

The Red Cherry Shrimp arrived quickly and looked healthy. They added a vibrant touch to my planted tank. They are active and seem to enjoy the environment. I’ve seen them foraging around the plants and gravel, which is very entertaining.

I bought a small group of Red Cherry Shrimp and they’ve been thriving in my 10-gallon tank. The red color stands out well against the green plants. They don’t seem to cause any issues with the water or other small fish.

These shrimp are a joy to watch. They move around the tank with curiosity and seem to be social. I’ve noticed they clean up small bits of food and algae, which helps keep the tank tidy.
