Cherry Shrimp L

Bring a vibrant splash of color and a diligent cleanup crew to your aquarium with the Cherry Shrimp L. This captivating freshwater shrimp is a true standout, named for its brilliant, bright red coloration that makes it look like a tiny, moving cherry.

The Cherry Shrimp is an incredibly peaceful and shy invertebrate. It is a tireless scavenger that spends its day cleaning algae, biofilm, and detritus from all surfaces in your aquarium, including plants, substrate, and decorations. Its calm nature makes it an excellent tank mate for a wide variety of peaceful community fish and other shrimp. This shrimp is also a prolific breeder in freshwater, making it easy to start and maintain a healthy, thriving colony.

Diet

For their diet, Cherry Shrimp are omnivorous scavengers. They will happily consume algae and biofilm that naturally grow in your aquarium. To ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients, you should supplement their diet with a high-quality shrimp pellet or algae wafer. You can also occasionally offer blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini. A balanced diet will help them maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.
