Description
Bloody Mary Shrimp are among the most striking freshwater shrimp available, showcasing an intense, deep red coloration that stands out brilliantly in any aquarium. Their vivid, almost translucent crimson shell sets them apart from standard red cherry shrimp, making them a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts. These shrimp are a selectively bred variant of Neocaridina davidi – the same species as Sakura Red Cherry Shrimp – but with an even richer and more saturated red hue.
Care requirements for Bloody Mary Shrimp are very similar to other Neocaridina shrimp. When kept in clean, stable water within recommended parameters, they will thrive and breed readily, forming a vibrant and active colony. Like all dwarf shrimp, a group of Bloody Mary Shrimp serves as an efficient cleaning crew, feeding on algae, biofilm, and leftover food, helping to maintain a healthy tank environment.
RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:
These shrimp are completely peaceful and safe to keep with all non-aggressive tankmates and live plants. They are hardy, adaptable, and ideal for both beginner and experienced shrimp keepers. For best results, maintain stable water parameters, ensure zero ammonia and nitrite, keep nitrate levels low, and provide plenty of hiding spots. In warmer climates, a cooling system is recommended to maintain optimal temperatures.
