Hi! You are buying 20+2 extra, in case others die during the trip, juvenile red cherry shrimps (rcs) of mixed grade (low cherry to high sakura grade). You will also be getting a stem of hornwort which you can propagate in your tank. The photos shown are my adult and baby rcs inside my tank.
Note: I deliver during Mondays and Tuesdays only.
They are young hence still small (around 1/4 to 1/2 inch) and not colored up yet. They will have their super red color when they reach adult, as shown in the photos. Females usually have darker color than males.
Baby shrimps do not need any special care, and will grow in the same aquarium as the adults.
Red cherry shrimps grow to an inch or less, are easy to care for in the home freshwater aquarium, and breed well. They will adapt to a wide range of water conditions, and will thrive in the same conditions as many common aquarium fish. A planted tank is most comfortable for the shrimp and the plants provide cover for adults and young. Plants also provide surfaces to graze on biofilm
The shrimp spends a great deal of its time sitting on aquatic plants, when available, and hiding in them for protection, especially after molting. They also eat the film of algae and microorganisms that forms on plant leaves without harming the leaves in the process. Java moss and Java fern are both excellent plants for the shrimp tank, as they thrive in the same conditions as the cherry shrimp and provide both the physical benefits of the plants to the shrimp . Shrimplets spend much of their early life hiding among plants and feeding from microorganisms and tank algae.
Red cherry shrimps respond to the color of their background and substrate. If they are kept in a tank with light-coloured substrate, they will become paler, or even transparent. On a darker substrate, they take on their full red coloration.
The shrimps are for pickup only in CT.
Delivers during Mondays and Tuesdays only.
