Green Jade Shrimp
Green Jade Shrimp are distinctive Neocaridina with deep green coloration that looks best over dark substrate under bright white aquarium lighting.
These live dwarf freshwater shrimp spend much of the day grazing on naturally occurring algae and biofilm. They thrive in a mature, stable aquarium with live plants, moss, wood, rockwork, and other sheltered areas. Supplement their natural grazing with a quality shrimp food as needed, taking care not to overfeed.
They can appear very dark or nearly black during shipping, after parameter changes, or over light substrate. Their green color generally becomes easier to see after they settle into a stable, properly lit tank.
Choose from packs of 5, 10, 20, or 40 shrimp. Young adults are approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch long when shipped. Standard packs are selected without a guaranteed male-to-female ratio.
The 10-shrimp breeder pack is selected to help start a colony and includes 7 females and 3 males.
Maintain stable water conditions and avoid sudden changes in temperature or chemistry. These peaceful shrimp do best with other small, non-aggressive aquarium inhabitants.
Axolotl note: Shrimp kept with axolotls may be eaten and are not guaranteed to remain permanent tank mates. Confirm that the aquarium conditions are appropriate for both species and provide plenty of hiding places.
