The Crystal Red Shrimp Shrimp is a dwarf freshwater shrimp native to Taiwan. Due to their original habitat, these shrimp thrive in planted tanks with a variety of shelter options and hiding spots. Our Aquarium Plant Variety Packs can help you create the ideal environment for your shrimp.
Red Crystal Shrimp do best in soft and acidic water conditions, and they are highly sensitive to water changes. Following our recommended tank water parameters can help your shrimp grow and breed successfully.
Crystal Red Shrimp Shrimp require very little feeding as long as your tank contains enough algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter. We recommend feeding every other day with high-quality shrimp food, as this can ensure a balanced diet and even keep higher grades more vibrant.
Great for planted and community tanks, you can place your peaceful and friendly Crystal Red Shrimp Shrimp with mates like Kuhli Loaches, Corydoras, and other dwarf shrimp.

Customer Reviews
All of the wildlife arrived alive and active. After a week in my aquarium, the entire Crystal Red population is thriving.
This is the third time I’ve ordered from Shrimpy Business and I’m just over the moon with my new Crystal Red shrimplets! All 10 arrived happy and healthy, and are very active in their new home. Thank you Shrimpy Business! Love, a loyal repeat customer 🦐
We got the skittles pack of 10 shrimp and 5 crystal red shrimp. Shipping was quick and all the shrimp were alive upon arrival. There was a couple extra in the bag which was cool. Overall very happy with our purchase!
It started when the box was opened. There a couple of dead shrimp. The water was ice cold as there was no heat pack. I started a drip acclaimetion, for a good couple hours. Two more died in tank within a few hours. By the next day they were all dead. This is an established tank. I didn't put a claim in for deceased shrimp. I ordered another type of shrimp and a few arrived dead when unboxing. I think the shrimp should be sent next day air
Hi Debra, Thank you for your review! As per our email exchange, thank you for providing me with details about the temperatures of the bags and situation. A gift card was sent to you shortly after, do reach out to us if you have any more questions or concern! Have a great rest of the week!
Ordered 10 received all 10 alive even though they arrived a day later than expected. It’s been one day after drip acclimating and they’re all looking great!
