Yellow Fire Shrimp

The Yellow Cherry Shrimp is a brightly coloured, peaceful species known from freshwater streams and brackish estuaries. These shrimp are highly social creatures and are best kept in large colonies. They are suitable for aquariums containing communities of small, peaceable fish only, as larger tankmates will regard them as a snack. Sunkist Orange Shrimp are excellent algae eaters and will browse on many different algae types. Highly recommended for planted aquaria, they will not damage the plants, but instead, large groups of this species will keep the leaves free from algae.
