Blood Shrimp. Freshwater?

i was reading about blood shrimp, they are the only good looking shrimp available at my local pet store, and the site i was reading said it was marine safe, or something along the lines of that. to me it sounded like it could be in freshwater, just by the way it was worded. so, can blood shrimp be in freshwater?

  1. Hello,

    No a Blood Shrimp is a marine/saltwater invertebrate. And so it can’t live in freshwater conditions. They need saltwater to thrive.

    Hope i Helped explain you answer.

  3. Nope, saltwater only I’m afraid, it would die in freshwater.

    There are colourful freshwater alternatives, but you’ll probably need to get them specially ordered. Such as this Cardinal Shrimp:
