Overview:

Cherry shrimp are one of the most popular invertebrates in the hobby. Peaceful addition for tanks with appropriately sized inhabitants. Most shrimp are imported from overseas and often don't fare well due to the stress of transport. These are super easy to breed and we were able to raise enough to sell.

Setup Considerations:

With Neocaridina shrimp tank size is less important than stable parameters; therefore, they are more likely to thrive in a mature, well seasoned tank. As benthic grazers, they benefit from plentiful surface areas in the form of hardscape and/or plants.

Due to their small size and peaceful nature, tankmates must be carefully chosen. Many aquarists are successful at keeping them with small, peaceful fish, but babies and freshly molted adults are always at risk of predation.

Diet: Omnivore

Neocaridina shrimp continuously graze on biofilm, algae, and organic matter. They readily feed on algae wafers, zucchini, flakes, pellets, and most other sinking aquarium fare.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
