Red Cherry Shrimp

Special requirements

• Copper Sensitivity

  Like all invertebrates, they are highly sensitive to copper. Copper-based medications should never be used in the aquarium.

• Predation Risk

  Do not house with loaches, puffers, and other larger carnivores that will feed on small invertebrates.

• Planted Environment

  Thrives in planted aquariums where food (biofilm and algae) and shelter are abundant.

• Filter Protection

  If breeding, keep them in an aquarium with a sponge filter to maximize the survival rate of the miniature young shrimp.
