How to Feed Your Cherry Shrimp – The Basics

Jul 23, 2022

Along with good water quality, feeding your cherry (neocaridina) shrimp properly is a prime necessity for keeping a successful colony. A good diet makes your colony resilient and better able to face the rigors of living in a small glass box on your desk.

Affordable

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

Easy to Keep

Hardy and low-maintenance. Cherry shrimp thrive in a peaceful community aquarium (with cover) or a fun-loving invertebrate tank by themselves.

Great for Natural Aquariums

Clean water, plants and light make happy quarters for cherry shrimp. They produce very little waste and are great for natural or low-tech/low-maintenance aquariums.
