-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 5-10 gallons for a small group of Fire Red Shrimp, allowing them ample space to graze and breed.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 68-78°F (20-26°C), a pH level of 6.5-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use gentle filtration to avoid sucking up shrimp and ensure good water quality. Sponge filters or pre-filters on powerheads work well.
-
Aquascape: Create a well-planted tank with live or mossy plants, driftwood, and rocks. Provide hiding spots and surfaces for biofilm growth.
-
Tank Mates: Fire Red Shrimp are best kept in a species-specific setup to prevent predation by fish. If mixed, choose non-predatory, peaceful fish.
-
Diet: They are detritivores and primarily graze on algae and organic matter. Supplement their diet with high-quality shrimp pellets and occasional blanched vegetables.
