Packs 10 Shrimps -------------------------------------------------------- Neocaridina davidi, commonly known as the red cherry shrimp or cherry shrimp, is a freshwater shrimp species native to Taiwan. They are highly popular among aquarium enthusiasts due to their vibrant red coloration, ease of care, and peaceful nature. Here's more information about them: Appearance: Red cherry shrimp have a bright red coloration, with variations in intensity and shading depending on genetics, diet, and environmental factors. They typically have a translucent or semi-transparent body, allowing you to see internal organs and sometimes faint markings. Size: They are relatively small, with adults typically reaching around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4 centimeters) in length. Habitat: In the wild, red cherry shrimp inhabit freshwater streams and rivers in Taiwan. In aquariums, they thrive in well-established, planted tanks with hiding places and ample algae growth. They prefer stable water parameters with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH and temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 26°C). Diet: Red cherry shrimp are omnivores and will feed on algae, biofilm, decaying plant matter, and leftover fish food. Providing them with a varied diet, including algae wafers, blanched vegetables (such as zucchini or spinach), and commercial shrimp pellets, will help ensure their health and vibrancy. Behavior: Cherry shrimp are peaceful and non-aggressive, making them suitable tank mates for many types of fish and other invertebrates. They are also prolific breeders under the right conditions, with females carrying eggs beneath their bodies until they hatch into miniature versions of the adults. Breeding: Breeding red cherry shrimp in captivity is relatively straightforward. They do not undergo a larval stage and instead give birth to live young, which are miniature replicas of the adults. Providing a well-established tank with plenty of hiding places, a stable environment, and a varied diet will encourage breeding. Tankmates: While red cherry shrimp are generally peaceful, some fish species may prey on them, especially if the shrimp are small or if the fish are particularly aggressive or carnivorous. Good tankmates for cherry shrimp include small, peaceful fish like neon tetras, rasboras, and small species of catfish.
