These little critters are fun to watch. They are also very efficient at keeping your aquarium clean.
Cherry Red Shrimp are undemanding shrimp in their care requirements. They should be kept in a well established aquarium with no predators. They are very non-aggressive and spend most of the day grazing on plants, gravel and any other tank decorations for algae and other types of foods.

If a male and a female are present in a well cared for aquarium, the Cherry Shrimp will breed. You can start with 10 and have a 100 a few months later. Females are larger and much more colorful, males are smaller and display a clear coloration with red spots. When the female is mature she will often times display a saddle which is the eggs developing in the females ovaries.

The shrimp will range in size from 1/4" to 3/4". We guarantee you will receive at least 10 shrimp alive on arrival. You will likely receive a couple extra to help make up for possible DOA's.  If you do not, contact us right away and we'll prorate a refund. These Shrimp are pretty hardy. DOA's are not too common. The shrimp may lose a little bit of their color during shipment but this will come back over time.
The shrimp will be mailed in a Priority Mail box and bagged in Kordon Breather Bags. The shrimp are packaged with a small piece of plant so that they have something to hold onto. 

Shipping is included on your shrimp order. We typically ship on Monday and Tuesday via priority mail to avoid the shrimp sitting in a Post Office over the weekend.

 We only ship within the continental US!!

We hope you can have as much fun with this hobby as we've had with ours!
