Cherry Shrimp FAQs
We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.
1. What size tank do cherry shrimp need?
A planted tank of 20 to 30 litres is a good minimum for a small colony. They can live in less, but bigger tanks hold steadier water conditions, which shrimp need more than space.
3. What do cherry shrimp eat?
They graze algae and biofilm all day, then top up with a shrimp food or blanched vegetables every day or two. Feed only what they finish in a couple of hours and remove any leftovers.
5. What fish can live with cherry shrimp?
Small, peaceful fish such as Chili Rasboras, Ember Tetras, Otocinclus and Pygmy Corydoras. Avoid anything big enough to eat an adult shrimp. Most fish will snack on babies, so dense plants and moss help a colony grow.
2. What temperature do cherry shrimp need?
Anywhere from about 18 to 26°C, with 20 to 24°C ideal. In a warm room they often manage without a heater, but a small heater keeps the temperature steady, which helps them breed.
4. Will cherry shrimp breed in my aquarium?
Yes, they breed readily in a mature, stable tank. Females carry their eggs for around three to four weeks, and the babies hatch as tiny copies of the adults. Moss and hides give the young somewhere safe to grow.
6. How many cherry shrimp should I start with?
Start with at least 10. A group that size almost always includes males and females, so the colony can breed, and shrimp are bolder and more active in numbers.
