Key Features:

  • Vibrant Red Color: The Super Red Cherry Shrimp is prized for its rich, uniform red coloration, making it a striking focal point in any aquascape. Their color can intensify with proper care and a nutrient-rich environment.

  • Natural Algae Cleaners: These shrimp are efficient scavengers, feeding on algae, biofilm, and detritus, helping to maintain a clean tank without the need for harsh chemicals or scrubbing.

Care Tips:

  • Provide stable water parameters with a pH range of 6.5-7.5, a temperature of 68-78°F, and moderate hardness.

  • Offer plenty of hiding spots such as live plants, moss, or rocks to help your shrimp feel safe and secure.

  • Feed them a balanced diet of high-quality shrimp pellets, algae wafers, and occasional blanched vegetables.

  • Avoid using copper-based medications, as they are harmful to shrimp and other invertebrates.
