Neocaridina davidi shrimp (Red cherry)
I am offering beautiful colorful shrimp.
Shrimp are omnivores; they eat granulated shrimp food, algae, and plant and animal leftovers. They enjoy blanched spinach or nettles, as well as fruit.
They breed well.
Neocaridina davidi (e.g., Red Cherry): One of the most popular species, they breed easily and are suitable for beginners, whereas Caridina (e.g., Crystal Red) are more demanding in terms of aquarium conditions, especially water quality.
Feeding: Shrimp feed on algae, detritus, and special shrimp food. They can also be fed blanched or cooked vegetables, such as spinach, nettles, or zucchini.
Water quality:
- Temperature: The ideal temperature for most freshwater shrimp is between 22–26 °C.
- pH: The pH value should be in the range of 6.5–7.5, depending on the species of shrimp.
- Water hardness: Moderately hard water is ideal for most species, but some require softer water.
Breeding: Shrimp breed easily if the conditions in the aquarium are right. Females carry eggs on their abdomen for several weeks before they hatch into tiny shrimp. For successful breeding, it is important that the water is clean and stable, and that the shrimp have plenty of hiding places.
