Deep Red Coloration

Painted Fire Red Shrimp are selectively bred for rich red coloration. Higher-quality individuals can display deep red coverage across most of the body, legs, and shell, creating a dramatic contrast against green aquarium plants and darker substrates.

Color intensity can vary naturally between individual shrimp, age, sex, diet, environment, and genetics.

Great for Planted & Shrimp Aquariums

These freshwater shrimp are excellent for planted aquariums because they constantly graze across plants, rocks, driftwood, and other surfaces in search of food.

For best results, keep Painted Fire Red Shrimp in a mature, stable aquarium with plenty of plants, moss, hiding areas, and established biofilm. Avoid sudden changes in water parameters and use caution with fish that may view small shrimp or shrimplets as food.

Easy-to-Breed Neocaridina Shrimp

Under suitable conditions, Painted Fire Red Shrimp can reproduce readily in freshwater aquariums without requiring a separate saltwater or brackish larval stage. A well-established shrimp colony can gradually increase in size when provided with stable water conditions, adequate food, and protection for young shrimp.
