These Red Cherry Shrimp just keep munching day and night! These shrimps are great at cleaning up everything from algae to fish pooh. They will climb and strip algae from plants and ornaments as well as crawling along the tank floor to clean sand and gravel. Nothing will get in the way of these natural cleaners as they much up! They are a huge asset to a tropical tank and help to keep nitrate levels down by controlling the amount of algae in the tank. This helps to keep the others inhabitants fit and healthy. They are also great to watch; their beautiful colour makes them stand out against the plants and ornaments. Every tank needs shrimps it is just a matter of colour and how colourful you like your tank to be.

I had not kept shrimp prior to this purchase, and after reading online I found rcs were my best option to begin in the hobby. I ordered 30 shrimp and collected them from the home of the keeper in Stoke. Eventhough I was about 5 hours early from the time he had specified for the collection the shrimp were ready and boxed withing 30 minutes! There were instructions given to me guiding on how correctly aquamate the shrimp, then the shrimp were safe and shortly swimming around my 6 gallon aquarium, still doing so 1 month later! Also have given birth to around 20 more. However I would recommend buying pure bread shrimp in addition to these to maintain the strong red colour the shrimp have, as this slowly fades due to inbreeding.

A great collection of shrimp. All arrived safely, very well packaged. All but one were still very red after their trip. All look healthy. They've already acclimatised to the tank. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Shrimp arrived well packed and seemed to be moving freely. After slowly acclimating them to my tank (really took my time) they seemed to start browsing and eating immediately. Some of them are tiny and difficult to find but I think they are all doing well.
