Cherry Black Shrimp Neocaridina Davidi 2cm "Discover the captivating beauty of the Cherry Black Shrimp (Neocaridina Davidi). Originating from selective breeding of freshwater shrimp, these stunning invertebrates showcase a deep, velvety black coloration with vibrant cherry red highlights, creating a mesmerizing contrast in any aquarium. These hardy and adaptable shrimp originate from the freshwater streams and rivers of Taiwan, thriving in stable and well-established aquariums. Cherry Black Shrimp are omnivorous and easily fed with a balanced diet of high-quality shrimp pellets, algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional treats like dried leaves or biofilm. Ideal tank mates for these peaceful creatures include small and non-aggressive fish like small tetras, rasboras, or snails. Avoid housing them with larger or more aggressive species to ensure their safety. Known for their gentle nature, Cherry Black Shrimp exhibit minimal aggression, making them suitable for community tanks. They're an excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike due to their ease of care and resilience. Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial for their well-being. Keep temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 26°C), pH levels ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, and ensure ammonia and nitrite levels are at zero, while keeping nitrates low through regular water changes.Please Note
