Red Pinto shrimp are a popular type of freshwater shrimp that comes from cross-breeding Tiger shrimp and Taiwan Bee shrimp. The result is the classic pinto pattern with ruby red color tones mixed with white markings and/or spotting. 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.
