Red Cherry Red Cherry Shrimp as its name implies, this species of shrimp has a very beautiful red color. They are one of the most popular shrimp for beginners. Red Cherry shrimp is a red variant of the wild red shrimp line, which later developed into the Super Red Cherry shrimp line. Red Cherry shrimp were originally bred in Germany, then appeared in the US in the 90s. CARING - They are cherry shrimps so super easy to care for as they can adapt to a wide range of water parameters, they can be kept in either soft or hard water. We recommend keeping them in hard water with a gH of at least 5 for them to show their best color. The aquarium should be fully cycled before introducing any shrimp. There should be no trace of Ammonia and Nitrite, Nitrate under 25ppm. A weekly water change of 10-20% is suggested to keep the nitrate low. Feed only 2-3 times a week as overfeeding will cause shrimp death. BREEDING - Breeding is fairly easy, if there is a male and female in the aquarium, they will breed. Female shrimp will carry the eggs for about 30 days until they are hatched to the miniature size of their parents. It is important to have a well-established aquarium in order for the shrimplets to survive as they can only consume biofilms until they grow older. Using shrimp additives such as vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and botanical products will boost reproduction and increase the shrimplet survival rate.Water Parameters: pH 6.5 - 7.5 gH 6 - 12 kH 0 -10 TDS 150-300 ppm Temperature: 18-28 For further information about tank setup, caring, breeding,... Please follow our Facebook page: Australia Shrimp Home Notes: The pictures above show our adult shrimps with full-color development. Shrimps to be sold are juvenile or sub-adult shrimp (around 0.8-1.5cm). So, they may have less color than adults but we ensure they originate from this colony and are worth the money customer spent. Shrimps will be packed in a styrofoam box and shipped every Monday/Tuesday to avoid delays on Weekends. Usually, they arrive within 1-3 business days depending on State and regional. Please follow the tracking number to pick them up quickly after they arrived and acclimate them carefully by dripping water from your tank slowly to their bag/container for around 1hour which helps them adapt to new parameters and temp. Stress due to shipping can affect their color, in particular, neocaridinar may become pale and quite clear in color when stressed. No worries, they will enhance their color back after a few days, if your parameters are right. Please let us know. If there is any dissatisfaction with the color and quality of the shrimp, We will do our best to help and solve the problem. Thank You^^!
