Tank Setup
- Size: Minimum 5 gallons for a small colony.
- Substrate: Fine gravel or sand to allow for foraging.
- Filtration: Gentle filtration with a sponge filter to prevent sucking up shrimp.

- pH: 6.5-7.5
- Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water (4-10 dGH)
Feeding
- Diet: Omnivorous; feed a varied diet including algae wafers, blanched vegetables (like zucchini or spinach), and specialized shrimp pellets or sticks. Offer occasional treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp sparingly.
Maintenance
- Water Changes: Regular water changes (10-20% weekly) to maintain water quality.
- Tankmates: Peaceful community fish that won't harm or prey on shrimp, such as small tetras or rasboras. Avoid aggressive or predatory species.
- Health: Monitor for signs of stress or disease, such as lethargy, loss of color, or unusual behavior.
By providing suitable conditions and a balanced diet, your Red Cherry Shrimp will thrive and bring vibrant color to your aquarium.
