Quick Answers

Are Neocaridina shrimp beginner friendly?
Yes. They are one of the most forgiving freshwater shrimp when kept in a mature, stable aquarium.
What water parameters do Neocaridina need?
A practical starting range is 65–80°F and pH 6.5–8.0. Stable source water is more important than chasing one exact number.
Can I mix different Neocaridina colors?
Yes, but the colors can interbreed and later generations may become mixed or revert toward wild-type coloration.
Can Neocaridina live with fish?
Adult shrimp can coexist with some peaceful nano fish, but shrimplets may be eaten. Dense moss and cover help.
When do Neocaridina shrimp ship?
Shrimp ship Monday through Wednesday and are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

About This Collection

Neocaridina Shrimp

Neocaridina shrimp are colorful freshwater dwarf shrimp known for adaptable care, active grazing, and easy colony growth in mature aquariums. Popular varieties include Blue Dream, Red Cherry, Bloody Mary, Yellow Goldenback, Green Jade, Rili patterns, and mixed-color Skittle Packs. Most Neocaridina do well around 65–80°F and pH 6.5–8.0 when water is stable. A mature 5-gallon or larger aquarium with a sponge filter, moss, biofilm-rich surfaces, and no detectable ammonia or nitrite is a strong starting point. Different color morphs are the same species, Neocaridina davidi. If separate color lines breed together, later generations may become less predictable and can revert toward wild-type coloration. Shrimp ship Monday through Wednesday.
