The ULTIMATE Beginner's Guide To Caring For Red Cherry Shrimp ????

Let's delve into the ultimate beginner's guide to caring for Red Cherry Shrimp, those vibrant little creatures in the aquarium hobby. Join me on this journey as I share my years of experience and knowledge with you.

Characteristics: Red Cherry Shrimp are small, peaceful, and colorful freshwater shrimp, perfect for beginners. They reach about 1.5 inches in size and live for 1 to 2 years. They are detritivores, meaning they eat various things like biofilm, dead plant matter, and more, and they prefer stable conditions.

Grading & Selection: Red Cherry Shrimp come in different grades, depending on their redness and opacity. Grades range from Ordinary Red Cherry to Bloody Mary. Selecting the right grade depends on your goals, budget, and tank.

Tank Setup & Water Parameters: Red Cherry Shrimp can thrive in small tanks, but breeding requires a 10-gallon tank or larger. Stable water parameters with a pH of 6.5 to 8.0 and a temperature around 72°F (22°C) are ideal. Use a sponge filter and consider a planted tank for their well-being.

Feeding: Red Cherry Shrimp are detritivores, but providing a diverse diet is crucial for their health. Consider products like BacterAE, Shrimp Baby, Mineral Junkie, and Shrimp Dinner, along with algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and frozen foods. Moderation is key.

Breeding: Breeding Red Cherry Shrimp requires patience, high-grade shrimp, proper male-to-female ratios, and suitable tank conditions. They breed every 30 days, and a well-established tank is essential.

Tank Mates: Red Cherry Shrimp can co-exist with peaceful tank mates like snails and nano fish, but avoid large fish or cichlids. If breeding, keep them in a species-only tank or consider Otocinclus Catfish as compatible tank mates.

Caring for Red Cherry Shrimp is a rewarding hobby that offers insights into these fascinating creatures. Remember to prioritize their health, patience, and enjoy the journey into the world of shrimp keeping! Good luck on your shrimp-keeping adventure!
