Fire red shrimp (1 pcs)

Fire Red Shrimp (a high-grade Neocaridina davidi):

• Appearance: Intense, solid red coloration covering the entire body and legs, with no translucent patches.

• Size: Adults reach about 1 – 1.5 inches (2.5 – 4 cm).

• Lifespan: Typically 1 – 2 years.

• Water Temperature: 18°C – 28°C (65°F – 82°F); they are very hardy but prefer stable temperatures.

• pH Level: Ideally 6.5 – 8.0.

• Diet: Scavengers/Omnivores. They eat algae, biofilm, and specialized shrimp pellets. They also love blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini.

• Temperament: Extremely peaceful. They spend most of their time grazing on plants and substrate.

• Tank Mates: Best kept with peaceful nano fish (like the Galaxy Rasbora) or in a species-only tank. Avoid large fish that might see them as a snack.

• Breeding: Very easy to breed in freshwater. As long as the water is clean and they are well-fed, they will reproduce naturally.

Pro Tip: To maintain their deep red color, use a dark substrate (like black sand or soil). This makes their color “pop” and helps them feel more secure.
