Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are a popular choice for freshwater aquariums due to their vibrant color and ease of care. Here are some key details about them:

• Appearance: These shrimps are known for their bright red color, which can vary in intensity depending on their grade. Higher-grade shrimp have a more uniform and intense red color
• Size: They typically grow up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in length
• Habitat: Native to the streams and ponds of Taiwan, they thrive in well-planted tanks with plenty of hiding spots
• Tank Requirements: They prefer stable water conditions with a temperature range of 65-85F (18-29C) and a pH between 6.5 and 8.0. A sponge filter is recommended to prevent them from being sucked into the filtration system
• Diet: Red Cherry Shrimp are omnivorous and will eat algae, biofilm, and detritus. They can also be fed commercial shrimp pellets, fish flakes, and blanched vegetables
• Behavior: They are peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates like small fish and snails
• Breeding: These shrimp breed readily in freshwater aquariums. Females carry eggs under their tails, and its important to provide plenty of hiding spots for the baby shrimp
