Bloody Mary Shrimp Care & Feeding

These shrimps are exceptionally active and prolific breeders, making them perfect for both beginners and experienced keepers. They are peaceful scavengers that spend their day cleaning your tank of biofilm and algae.

To maintain their vibrant health and deep red color, we recommend a varied diet of:

  • High-quality specialized shrimp pellets.

  • Natural biofilm and algae.

  • Occasional blanched vegetables (zucchini or kale).

  • Mineral supplements to ensure thick shells and successful molting.

Pro Tip: While they are hardy, they appreciate a well-cycled tank with plenty of mosses and hiding places to feel secure and display their best colors.
