Neocaridina Shrimp Live Freshwater Shrimp Aquarium Inverts (Live Guarantee)

Neocaridina Shrimp are a popular choice among shrimp enthusiasts and make great pets for beginners. The recommended stocking density is typically 10 shrimps per gallon. These shrimp are hardy, non-aggressive, and spend most of their time consuming algae and biofilm from plants, glass, and substrate, making them an excellent cleanup crew for your aquarium.

To ensure a successful Neocaridina colony, it is crucial to dechlorinate the water, whether it is clean tap water or reverse osmosis (RO) water, and cycle the tank with some plants. This will provide a suitable environment for your new shrimp colony to thrive.

It is essential to avoid using tap water that is heavy in metals or chemicals, as these can be detrimental to the health of your shrimp. Additionally, when dosing your aquarium with foods or fertilizers, make sure they are shrimp-safe.

The ideal water parameters for a thriving Neocaridina colony are as follows: - Temperature: 65-80°F - pH: 6.5-8 - Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 170-250 ppm - General Hardness (GH): 5.5-8

To ensure the best breeding success, we will provide you with a healthy ratio of female to male Neocaridina shrimp, allowing your colony to flourish. It is important to keep different color varieties of Neocaridina separate to maintain the purity of the offspring. Crossbreeding different species can result in a duller "brown" coloration.

Each of our Neocaridina shrimp are high-grade, with genetic lineages tracing back to award-winning breeders in Taiwan.

When it comes to feeding, Neocaridina shrimp thrive on a variety of foods. They do well with dry foods, such as fish flakes (without metals), as well as fresh vegetables like boiled spinach. It is crucial to boil any fresh veggies and let them air-cool before adding them to the tank to ensure proper sterilization.

Neocaridina shrimp love to graze on various plants, such as Java moss, Taiwan moss, Fissidens, Bucephalandra, and Java fern. Baby shrimp also enjoy foraging on floating plants like dwarf water lettuce, Salvinia minima, and Frogbit.

In summary, Mixed Neocaridina Shrimp are an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarium enthusiasts. With the right water parameters, a suitable environment, and a healthy shrimp colony, you can enjoy the beauty and cleaning prowess of these fascinating creatures.
