Red Onyx Shrimp

Red Onyx Shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. “Red Onyx”, are a captivating and popular freshwater shrimp species. They are known for their mesmerizing dark red color.

Red Onyx Shrimp are relatively small and typically grow to a size of around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) when fully mature. Their compact size makes them suitable for various aquarium setups, including nano tanks and shrimp-specific aquariums.

Red Onyx Shrimp are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful fish and invertebrates that share similar water parameters. They are active and energetic, constantly foraging and exploring their surroundings. These shrimp contribute to the activity and liveliness of the aquarium.

Red Onyx Shrimp are considered hardy and relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions. Providing them with a well-planted tank, suitable hiding places, and a balanced diet that includes algae-based foods will promote their overall health and vibrant coloration.
