Red Cherry Shrimp The Red Cherry Shrimp is an algae eater/ tank cleaner. The Females get a bright red color upon maturiy. They reach a body size of about 1 1/2 inches.. This is a very easy shrimp to keep, and they have become very popular, especially with plant people. They are perfect additions to a plant tank, a tank by themsleves, or a guppy tank for that matter..They can be kept in a graveled or bare bottom tank. The bottom can be completely bare, or use some fine sand as a substrate. Plants are necessary for the females to lay their eggs on. The foam filters are excellent for them in a bare tank, they will not "catch' the very small babies produced by these shrimp.. It is recommended that you get at least 5 or 6 of these to start a tank to be sure of getting a mix of males / females to get your breeding program started.. They will pretty much breed themsleves. They will eat anything from algae wafers to flake foods, while preferring some treats like Cyclops Eeze, and Crab Cuisine.. They are a freshwater shrimp that will tolerate the level of salt in a guppy tank ( 1 tablespoon/ 5 gallons). These fascinating little creatures make a very unique little world of their own in a nice plant tank. Tank size of about 10 gallons more is recommended.
