Appreciation of nature and ethical treatment are the heart of natural aquarium-keeping. It’s what this site is all about!

Cherry shrimp (neocaridina) are a fun and fascinating newcomer to America’s aquariums! They are excellent in a community nano-tank or by themselves.

III. The Edible Aquarium: Promoting biofilm in your shrimp tank

Sep 12, 2022

Previous posts in this 4-part series discussed the natural environment of cherry shrimp and their unorthodox method of feeding; or, more accurately, grazing. In this post, we’ll go over how to develop vibrant biofilm for your shrimp to graze upon.

Affordable

Inexpensive and prolific, cherry shrimp cost little to feed and maintain.

Easy to Keep

Hardy and low-maintenance. Cherry shrimp thrive within a peaceful community aquarium or in a colony tank by themselves.

Great for Natural Aquariums

Clean water, plants and light are all you need to keep your cherry shrimp happy. They produce little biowaste and are great for natural, low-maintenance aquariums.

Cherry Shrimp are cleaning up all over the world.

Cherry Shrimp from Taiwan were first introduced to the aquarium world in 2003–many still don’t know that freshwater shrimp even exist! Only becoming available in the USA in the past decade, this wonderful little aquatic pet is what we thought sea-monkeys were back in the day.
