Green Jelly Shrimp are a translucent green color morph of Neocaridina davidi. Unlike the opaque jade of Green Jade shrimp, Green Jelly shrimp have a mostly clear body with a lime-green tint — a more subtle, luminous look that shifts with lighting conditions. They're an uncommon morph that stands out in a planted setup.
Every Green Jelly Shrimp we ship is quarantined and health-checked at our facility before it leaves. We run over 100 dedicated aquariums on-site. These are not pet store shrimp — they are selected for consistent coloration and raised in stable, clean water.
Care Notes
Neocaridina are forgiving, but stability matters more than perfection. Avoid sudden swings in temperature, pH, or GH — drip acclimation on arrival is essential. Do not use copper-based medications in a shrimp tank under any circumstances. Feed a small amount 3–4 times per week; remove uneaten food after 24 hours. A mature tank with established biofilm is the best environment for a new colony.

Species Spotlight
Why We Love This Shrimp
01
Translucent Green — Unusually Eye-Catching
Green Jelly shrimp have a translucent, lime-green body that gives them a quality closer to Blue Jelly than Green Jade — the color glows rather than sits flat. It's a distinctive look that draws attention in a planted tank even at a distance.
02
Natural Tank Cleaners
Neocaridina graze biofilm and algae constantly — working every surface of your tank around the clock without any intervention from you.
03
They Breed in Your Tank
In stable conditions, Green Jelly Shrimp reproduce readily. A small group becomes a self-sustaining colony over time — the pace depends on your water and setup.
Community Tank
Compatible Tank Mates
These species coexist peacefully with shrimp. Research before mixing — not every fish is safe.

Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation
Green Jelly Shrimp show their translucent lime color best against dark substrate and under moderate lighting. Pair with red or brown botanicals for the strongest visual contrast. Java Moss provides grazing surfaces and shrimplet cover. A sponge filter is the safest choice for these shrimp.

Common Questions
Green Jelly Shrimp FAQ
How are Green Jelly different from Green Jade Shrimp?+
Green Jade shrimp have a solid, opaque jade-green body. Green Jelly shrimp are translucent — the green tint shows through a mostly clear shell, similar to how Blue Jelly differs from Blue Diamond. Different look, same care requirements.
What water parameters do Green Jelly Shrimp need?+
pH 6.5–8.0, temperature 65–80°F, GH 6–8, KH 2–4. Most conditioned tap water works well. Avoid copper-based medications and sudden parameter swings.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes — 100% Live Arrival Guarantee on every order. Photo any DOA in the sealed bag on the day of delivery. Contact us through the Start a Claim page and we will resolve it.
Are Green Jelly Shrimp good for beginners?+
Yes. Green Jelly Shrimp are Neocaridina — beginner-friendly, wide pH tolerance, and active breeders in stable conditions.
How are Green Jelly Shrimp shipped?+
Professionally packed in an insulated box with a heat or cold pack matched to your local weather forecast. Livestock ships Monday through Thursday and delivers Tuesday through Friday. Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout.
Can Green Jelly Shrimp live with fish?+
Yes, with the right species. Ember Tetras, Pygmy Corydoras, Otocinclus, and Celestial Pearl Danios are safe choices. Avoid any fish large enough to swallow a shrimp.
Live plants give shrimp constant grazing surfaces, sheltered hiding spots for shrimplets, and promote the natural biofilm growth shrimp feed on. Every plant is shrimp-safe and ships safely alongside livestock.
