Red Cherry Shrimp

The Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. Red Cherry) is one of the most popular freshwater shrimp in the aquarium hobby – and for good reason. With their striking red colouration, active behaviour, and hardy nature, they are a fantastic choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Cherry Shrimp aren’t just beautiful – they’re also useful. These hardworking inverts graze on algae, biofilm, and leftover food, making them an essential part of any aquarium’s clean-up crew. Their bright red colour really stands out against green plants, driftwood, and natural aquascapes, creating a stunning visual display.

Given the right conditions, Cherry Shrimp will breed readily in freshwater, allowing you to grow your own colony over time. Peaceful and non-aggressive, they mix well with other dwarf shrimp and small community fish.
