Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are one of the best-known shrimp in the freshwater aquarium hobby. These shrimp are very prolific and are raised in tap water, so you don’t have to worry about them being fragile. Neocaridina shrimp are a great clean-up crew for your aquarium as they clean up some types of algae and left-over food and waste. Neocaridina are one of the easiest to care for species of shrimp and they breed extremely fast. Wild Neocaridina shrimp are a brown/green color, but through careful selective breeding, we have amazing colors such as the red cherry. These shrimp are originally from Taiwan where they live in heavily planted bodies of water and enjoy sandy or rocky substrate. The Neocaridina shrimp we sell will be 1/2-3/4 inches in length and ready to start breeding.
