Cherry Shrimp makes gorgeous and functional additions to any peaceful freshwater aquarium. Its brilliant coloration adds a beautiful ornamental quality, while its purposeful pursuit for algae and organic debris makes the Cherry Shrimp an invaluable aquarium clean-up crew.

The Blue Cherry Shrimp have gained popularity thanks to their large appetite for all kinds of freshwater algae. These highly adaptable shrimp do well in any freshwater aquarium with good filtration and water quality. However, Cherry Shrimp will thrive in planted aquariums where food and shelter are abundant. Keep in mind that new arrivals demonstrate varying degrees of coloration. They are often clear in appearance until they have properly acclimated and adjusted to their new environment.

If there is a male and female in your aquarium, Blue Cherry Shrimp will most likely breed. The female will carry a clutch of yellowish eggs under her tail until they hatch in about 30 days. The newly born shrimp will look like miniature adult shrimp and will eat the same thing as the adults. If breeding these shrimp, it is important to keep them in a breeder aquarium with a sponge filter. This added precaution helps maximise survival of young shrimp.

Like all invertebrates, Blue Cherry Shrimp are sensitive to copper. Copper-based medications should never be used in aquariums housing ornamental invertebrates. Do not house Blue Cherry Shrimp in aquariums with loaches, puffers, and other larger carnivores that will feed on invertebrates.

Blue Cheery shrimp are omnivores that will consume algae, detritus, and leftover food. If insufficient food is present, supplement with algae tablets or quality flake food or pellets.

In the unlikely event that any of your Blue shrimp arrive DOA, simply contact us within 24 hours of receiving your package. The best option is also to send some pictures taken within the first hour of receiving the package.
