Just like the popular Red Cherry Shrimp, they’re incredibly robust and flexible, making them an ideal choice for novice shrimp keepers.

To keep them healthy and encourage breeding in your aquarium, it’s essential to provide them with suitable substrate, ample hiding spots, and a diverse diet consisting of specialized freshwater shrimp foods.
