The Red Cherry Shrimp is a selectively bred form of wild\u00a0Neocaridina<\/em> shrimp with a vivid red body coloration. They are remarkably hardy and adaptable, excellent shrimp for beginners. The Red Cherry Shrimp, like most other species of freshwater dwarf shrimp in its genus, will do well in a wide range of water conditions although overly soft or hard water should be avoided. A fine substrate, plenty of cover, and a varied diet of prepared foods specific to freshwater shrimp will ensure their long term health, and eventually breeding in the aquarium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
