Bloody Mary Shrimp are beautiful creatures! These tiny critters are often compared to standard Red Cherry Shrimp, but are slightly different in that their flesh, not just their shells, are red. This variety can also be identified by a shorter rostrum when compared to Cherry Shrimp. With proper care, freshwater shrimp have an average life span of 1-2 years. Most species will readily breed in healthy, freshwater conditions. It is recommended to keep shrimp separate from other species to prevent cross-breeding that typically results in brown, muddled offspring. Freshwater aquatic shrimp make a great addition to an aquarium clean up crew and will spend time grazing on algae or biofilm found on plants, glass walls and more.
