The Red Cherry Shrimp is one of the most popular and eye?catching freshwater invertebrates, loved for its bright red colour and peaceful nature. Perfect for planted tanks, these shrimp spend their day grazing on algae, biofilm, and leftover food, helping to keep the aquarium clean while adding constant movement and charm.
Hardy, active, and beginner?friendly, Red Cherry Shrimp thrive in stable, well?planted aquariums and breed readily when conditions are right. Each shrimp is carefully selected for colour and health, then packed with care and shipped quickly across the UK with expert guidance included.
