Cherry shrimp are one of two groups of shrimp, popular in the Aquarium Hobby - Neocaridina and Caridina.
Unlike Caridina, Neocaridina (cherry shrimp) are easy to care for, requiring little maintenance for the average hobbyist. Increasing cherry shrimp production rate and growth can be easily achieved with a proper and varied diet, temperature, as well as consistent water changes. Some of my favourite cherry shrimp foods include blanched spinach, zucchini, and cucumber, as well as Glassgarten's BacterAE, biofilm from decaying leaves, and algae.
