About the Yellow Neocaridina Shrimp
Yellow shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. "Yellow"*, are hardy, peaceful, freshwater invertebrates that are popular for aquariums due to their bright yellow coloration and ability to keep tanks clean. These selectively bred shrimp reach about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, are omnivorous, and readily breed in captivity. They are easy to care for, adapting to a wide range of water parameters, making them a great choice for beginners.
We strongly advise you to keep live plants, driftwood, and botanicals with your shrimp. These materials provide additional biofilm while also providing plenty of spaces for your shrimp if you plan to house them with fish.
Water hardness is optimal to ensure Neocaridina and Caridina Shrimp thrive in your aquariums. Neocaridinas prefer a gH of 4-8° and a kH of 1-4°. TDS (total dissolved solids) should range between 150-250 ppm. If the water is too alkaline or high of a TDS, shrimp exoskeletons will be too brittle to molt out of.
