Information
 
Probably the most well recognized freshwater aquarium shrimp. Cherry Red shrimp do not occur anywhere in nature. Cherry Red shrimp are a color morph of the Taiwanese Pale Blue shrimp. The color lines are stable and Cherry Red shrimp are a mainstay in the United States. Easy to care for, these shrimp will readily breed for you. An excellent shrimp and one that we highly recommend for those new to keeping shrimp.
