Cherry Shrimp – Vibrant, Hardy & Natural Tank Cleaners for Freshwater Aquariums
Cherry Shrimp are a vibrant and active addition to any freshwater aquarium. Known for their bright red coloration, these small shrimp add both beauty and function to your tank. They are not only visually striking but also serve as natural tank cleaners, consuming algae and leftover food.
These shrimp are perfect for peaceful community tanks and can live with other non-aggressive species, making them a favorite for hobbyists looking for a low-maintenance yet engaging addition to their setups. Cherry Shrimps are hardy and can thrive in a variety of water conditions, although they prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5.
To maintain vibrant colors, it’s essential to provide them with a well-balanced diet of algae, plant matter, and high-quality shrimp pellets. Cherry Shrimp are excellent scavengers, helping to keep your tank clean and healthy by feeding on organic waste.
Their peaceful nature and easy care requirements make them a fantastic choice for beginner aquarists or anyone looking to add a splash of color and cleanliness to their tank.

Abdul Rehman –
I added a group of Red Cherry Shrimps to my planted aquarium from Aqua Design and they are fantastic! They are bright red, active, and do an excellent job keeping the tank clean by eating algae and leftover food. The staff at Aqua Design provided great advice on acclimating them, and they arrived healthy and vibrant. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add color and natural cleaners to their tank.
