They prefer clean water, with a pH of 6.5-8, and a temperature of 14-30°C (65-85°F) They are most comfortable at 22°C. Cherry shrimp are omnivores that may live 1-2 years. Red cherry shrimp are easy to care for in the home freshwater aquarium and breed well. They will adapt to a wide range of water conditions, and will thrive in the same conditions as many common aquarium fish. A few cherry shrimp can be kept in a desktop aquarium of 4-8 litres (1-2 gallon) capacity, and a setup of 40 litres (10 gallons) or more will allow for an active colony.
