They are bright so look great in a planted aquarium. They love to live in grass or moss so we recommend having a planted tropical aquarium. Cherry shrimp, Neocaridina davidi, have many common names including cherry red shrimp, fire cherry shrimp, fire shrimp and red shrimps. Colouration varies from a deep red, to a translucent red - various shades of red.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherry shrimp have a distinctive head with a pointy rostrum (nose) and four antennae (one pair longer than the other). Cherry shrimp have eyes that protrude on stalks on either side of the rostrum, and three pairs of short legs beneath the mouth that help the shrimp scavenge for food.\r\n\r\nThe red cherry shrimp’s abdomen has six overlapping shell segments and five pairs of legs for swimming. Red Cherry Shrimp thrive in well-planted aquariums, with dried leaves, mosses and grass being the plants of choice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo cherry shrimp shed their skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed Cherry Shrimp will moult and shed their carapace, often appearing to have grown larger once shed.
