Freshwater Shrimp
Colored Shrimp.
Hardy dwarf shrimp in assorted colors — cherry red, blue, yellow, and more — tiny, peaceful, and endlessly busy grazing biofilm and algae. Beginner-friendly and a great cleanup crew for a planted nano tank; they'll breed readily in stable, clean water.

Good tank mates
Peaceful dwarf freshwater shrimp that thrive in calm community and shrimp-focused tanks with small, non-aggressive fish like ember tetras, pygmy corydoras, otocinclus, and small rasboras, plus snails. Avoid any fish big enough to view shrimp or babies as a snack, including most cichlids, bettas with a hunting streak, and larger barbs or gouramis. They breed readily, so heavily planted cover and gentle filtration help shrimplets survive.
Good to know
These are color-selected strains of one species, Neocaridina davidi, so the same wild brown shrimp has been bred into reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens that will interbreed and revert toward wild coloration if mixed.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
