All red cherry shrimp are extremely adaptable creatures that can live inalmost any freshwater aquarium. Some of the younger shrimp have not reachedtheir full potential yet and will grow into a deep red color as long as theyare comfortable in the tank. Lower intensity lighting and dark substrate alsohelps them achieve the deepest and darkest reds. RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: – pH level range: 6.0 – 8.0 – Temperature range: 65° – 80° F – Water type: Soft to hard – Recommended Aquatic Arts tank mates: Other types of dwarf shrimp (such as Blue Velvet shrimp, Neon Yellow Shrimp, Green Babaulti shrimp, etc.), various types of snails (such as Nerite Snails, Sulawesi Snails, etc.). They can also be kept with small to medium-sized, non-aggressive fish. – Additional notes: Relatively easy to care for – similar to other dwarf shrimp species. Dwarf shrimp prefer to live in tanks with live aquatic plants (such as willow moss, Anubias barteri, green cabomba, etc). This is because dwarf shrimp like the cover that plants provide, they love to graze on the plants for algae, and the plants help keep the water clean for them.
