⸻
How to Care for Cherry Shrimp ?
• Temperature: 20–26°C
• pH: 6.5–7.5
• TDS: 150–250 ppm
• Minimum Tank Size: 20 litres
• Best kept in groups of 8 or more for social comfort and better activity
• Provide a planted setup with hiding spots using moss, driftwood, or rocks

⸻
Diet:
Omnivorous scavengers—feed on biofilm, algae, shrimp pellets, spirulina, and blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
⸻
Breeding:
Cherry Shrimp breed readily in stable tanks with clean water. Females carry greenish to reddish eggs beneath their tail until they hatch into tiny, fully-formed shrimplets.
Tip: Begin with 8 to 10 shrimp to improve the chances of a healthy male-female mix for successful breeding.
If kept with aggressive fish or without enough hiding spaces, breeding activity may decrease due to stress.

I had an excellent experience with this website. The quality of both the aquatic plants and Bloody Mary shrimp exceeded expectations.
The plants arrived healthy, well-rooted, and free from pests or melt. They adapted quickly to my tank, contributing to a very natural and pristine aquascape.
The Bloody Mary shrimp were of premium grade with deep coloration, active behavior, and zero visible stress on arrival. Most importantly, they acclimated smoothly and have since bred successfully, which clearly reflects their quality and proper handling before delivery.
Overall, the combination of high-quality livestock, healthy plants, and reliable packaging has significantly improved both the visual appeal of my tank and the success of my breeding setup.
Highly recommended for anyone serious about aquascaping or shrimp keeping.

Hi, just wanted to share my feedback after around 2 months 😊
The aquatic plants (ferns, anubias, grass) are doing really well and have settled beautifully in my tank. Everything arrived in great condition and the quality truly shows over time.
A special mention to the Bucephalandra! it’s super healthy, vibrant, and has become one of the most beautiful highlights of my setup. It’s even started flowering with a beautiful white bloom ✨
The shrimps are also in excellent health, active, colorful, and thriving without any issues 👍
Overall, really impressed with the quality and care. Keep up the great work! 🙌
