Crystal red shrimp (CRS) are a rare and popular variety of freshwater dwarf shrimp known for their bright red and white striped markings and low maintenance feeding habits. They are a selectively bred variant of the bee shrimp, a small scavenger native to Taiwan that eats algae and decayed vegetation.

 

CRS are also sensitive to water changes, so more frequent lower volume changes are safer and more effective than large infrequent water changes. You should change the water at least 30% each week, and make sure to dechlorinate the water before adding it to the aquarium.
 

CRS are omnivorous and require a balanced diet. Some say that CRS display their best colors at lower temperatures and tend to breed more readily at lower temperatures.
