Cherry Shrimp - Fire Red - Neocaridina Davidi

If you want a shrimp you can spot from across the room, this is it. A good Fire Red is solid red right through the body, legs included, with none of the patchy or see-through look you get in lower grades. Put a group of them in front of some green moss or stem plants and they really do glow.

They are hardy, busy little shrimp that spend their day picking over plants and driftwood for biofilm, and they will happily breed away in a settled tank. The females usually carry the deepest colour, and it gets even richer on a dark substrate.

Home-bred by me in QLD and raised in established tanks with plenty of biofilm and botanicals.
