Red and Yellow Dwarf Shrimp Combo Pack, Tank-Bred!
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
Liven up your aquarium with 2 different colors of incredible dwarf shrimp!
Includes Sakura Red Cherry Shrimp and Neon Yellow Shrimp.
This combo pack is perfect for small aquariums and is a great way to get two colors of shrimp without paying more for the individual shrimp. Both colors are vibrant and beautiful and stand out fantastically against plants or any other backdrop.
Both of these shrimp varieties belong to the same species (Neocaridina davidi, formerly Neocaridina heteropoda) and can live within the same water parameters. Additionally, they will interbreed, and since they are shipped out as young adults or adults, they will already be able to breed in your tank. After some time breeding, these shrimp will form a colony that will work as a very effective cleaning crew for your tanks, cleaning up algae and waste!
INCLUDED IN THIS PACK ARE THE FOLLOWING:
- Sakura Red Cherry Shrimp: These shrimp feature a deep red coloration that contrasts particularly well with green plants. We ship out young adults that range from 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
