Cherry shrimp are one of the most, if not the most popular shrimp in the hobby. There are various reasons hobbyist love Cherry shrimp, their stunning color that pops in any aquarium, or their hardiness. They are accustomed to aquarium life and therefore arerelatively easy to keep.

Cherry shrimp can take up to 3 weeks to color up after shipping. The stress of shipping combined with the darkness of the shipping box can result in the shrimp losing their color.
The grading of cherry shrimp is as follows:
Cherry shrimp in general refers to the lowest grade of Red Neocaridina aquarium shrimp. Regular cherry shrimp are generally pretty clear.
Sakura cherry shrimp are a more intense red color. While still possessing clear patches, Sakura shrimp are more solid in color than regular cherry shrimp.
Fire red shrimp is the next grade and refers to shrimp that are completely red. Painted Fire Red shrimp are the last and highest grade.
Painted fire red shrimp are completely solid in color and have no transparent patches. Painted fire red shrimp usually have red legs as well.

All my shrimp arrived, ordered 20 and got 5 extra, and I also received an extra bag with 10+4! Very happy with my purchase. Huge thanks to Shalin for packing my order! Was hesitant to order online, but Flip Aquatics does it right!
My wonderful shrimp showed up a day early, and the “extras” both survived, which was nice.
The acclimation instructions could be a bit clearer, and the YT video basically abandons the breather bag bits right when the action starts. A quick email helped a bit.
They seem to be adjusting well. One molted this week. I’m glad I let my tank age a while before getting them.
Wonderful experience, thank you!
I received the cherry shrimp alive and well. My only complaint is that the like to hide but when I see them they are so interesting to watch. Thanks
I have always ordered my shrimp from Flip. They arrive in very good condition.
They came in great condition! Great work on the packaging! Thanks I’ll order again!
