The Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) is the most popular and widely kept freshwater dwarf shrimp. Selectively bred from wild Neocaridina, this variety is known for its vivid red shell and hardy nature, making it the perfect beginner shrimp.
Red Cherries are peaceful, active algae grazers that thrive in planted aquariums. They breed readily under stable conditions, often carrying eggs, and will quickly form a colourful colony in your tank. Their resilience and beauty make them the ideal choice for first-time shrimp keepers.
