FIRE RED SHRIMP

The Fire Red Cherry Shrimp is a higher grade of the ubiquitous Cherry Shrimp seen in many planted tanks all over the world. The Fire Red strain is developed through selective breeding and commitment to rigorous culling to consistently produce specimens with opaque, deep red bodies.

The Fire Red Cherry Shrimp is perhaps the most popular dwarf shrimp species available in the aquarium hobby due to its eye-catching red color. A member of the Neocaridina genus, they are a fantastic choice for new shrimp keepers due to their tolerance of a wide range of water parameters, as well as their widespread availability and low price point.  

The Fire Red Cherry Shrimp makes for a striking and dynamic addition to a planted aquarium, with its deep red hue popping against a backdrop of dark substrate or deep green plants.
