Overview:
The Bloody Mary Shrimp is a striking freshwater dwarf shrimp admired for its rich, deep red colouration and active nature. This eye-catching shrimp is a popular choice for planted aquariums, where its bold colour contrasts beautifully against greenery and hardscape.

Peaceful and easy to care for, Bloody Mary Shrimp are well suited to both beginner and experienced aquarists. They are constantly on the move, grazing on surfaces throughout the aquarium and adding life and interest to smaller freshwater setups.

Care and Feeding:
Bloody Mary Shrimp thrive in stable, well-maintained aquariums with gentle filtration and plenty of hiding spaces such as moss, plants, wood, and stones. A mature tank is highly recommended, as shrimp are sensitive to sudden changes in water conditions.

They are omnivorous scavengers and should be offered a varied diet including shrimp pellets, algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional protein-rich foods. They will also graze on biofilm and algae within the aquarium, helping to keep surfaces clean.
