The Red Fire Shrimp, this shrimp is a deep blood red with with antennae that are used to signal fish with their cleaning services. The fire shrimp will hang out on a live rock overhang and wave their antennae about waiting for fish to come up to them at which point they will clean the body, fins and gills of the fish. It is really quite the sight to see the red fire shrimp doing this.

Caring for Fire Red Shrimp in Singapore
Fire Red Shrimp are a high-grade neocaridina prized for their deep, even red colour, and they are one of the most rewarding invertebrates for a planted nano tank. We grade our stock for consistent colouration, and because they breed readily in stable conditions a small starter colony can quickly populate a tank. They are peaceful, constantly foraging biofilm and algae, which makes them excellent companions for a calm community setup.
These shrimp suit Singapore’s climate well: they thrive at the upper end of room temperature, so most keepers run them heaterless, though they appreciate stability and dislike sudden swings. Our soft, slightly acidic tap water is workable, but always condition it for chloramine before any change, as shrimp are far more sensitive to it than fish. Drip-acclimate new arrivals slowly, since neocaridina react badly to abrupt shifts in temperature or parameters.
Browse more invertebrates in our shrimp range. For long-term success, see our Fire Red shrimp care guide and the drip acclimation kit guide before you add them.
