Red Cherry Shrimp

These Red Cherry Shrimp are 100% USA Bred! Red Cherry Shrimp, also known simply as Cherry Shrimp, are a selectively bred variation of Neocaridina shrimp that are native to Taiwan, that have been widely bred in captivity here in the U.S. and many other parts of the world. They're well known to be the hardiest of all freshwater dwarf shrimp and are very popular amongst beginner aquarists due to their ease of care. They are generally very easy to breed once they reach maturity, as long as they are kept in favorable tank conditions.  Click here to view our guide on caring & breeding Neocaridina Shrimp!
