Neocaridina Fire Red – intensely red aquarium shrimp

Fire Red is one of the most popular Neocaridina davidi varieties, valued for its vibrant red coloration, calm temperament, and ease of breeding. The intense color makes these shrimp look stunning in planted aquariums, nano tanks, and classic shrimp tanks.

The specimens we offer come from selective breeding and stand out for their excellent condition, activity, and aesthetic coloration. Fire Red actively forage on substrate, plants, and decorations most of the time, searching for biofilm, algae, and leftover food, helping maintain the biological balance in your aquarium.

This is a hardy and easy-to-keep variety, making it perfect for both beginners and more advanced aquarists. They thrive best in stable aquariums with plenty of moss, plants, and natural hiding spots.
