Mottled difference: cherry shrimp back with red and white mottled, while the fire shrimp have no mottled. Foot Difference: Most fire shrimp have red feet, while cherry shrimp feet are not covered with an opaque red color. Difference in body length: cherry shrimp can only grow to 2 centimeters, while the fire shrimp body length of up to 2.5 ~ 3 centimeters. First, what is the difference between cherry shrimp and fire shrimp

1. color difference: cherry shrimp body is transparent, overall red. Its redness will change with the environment, light, age. Extreme fire shrimp are all fire red, the color is much thicker than the cherry shrimp, and the body is not transparent.

2. Mottling difference: cherry shrimp mottling is very obvious, according to the red and white way distributed on the back. The fire shrimp has no markings.

Second, cherry shrimp and fire shrimp can be raised together

First of all, consider whether they can survive in the same environment. They do not have high environmental requirements, as long as the water temperature is appropriate. The most suitable temperature range for the growth and development of cherry shrimp is 20 ℃ ~ 26 ℃, while the optimal temperature for the fire shrimp is 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃. There is an overlap between the two temperature ranges. Therefore, it is possible to keep them together when the temperature is 20℃~25℃.
