hi milly
cherry shrimp Neocaridina denticulata sinensis var. red,
like most shrimp, eat just about anything they can scavenge.
they should reach a good size of 3cm

There are 9 sub-species of Neocaridina denticulata and the cherry shrimp is
the only one that has colour, all the others are like ghost shrimp(ie clear).

These are their water requirements
Temperature: 15 to 28°C
PH: 6.5 to 7.5
Origin: Taiwan

HTH
