Striking red and white banding pattern. The crown jewel of ornamental shrimp keeping, graded from C to SSS.
Deep emerald coloration over a translucent body. Hardy and prolific — perfect for planted aquascapes.
Warm golden body with delicate white accents. A rare Caridina variant prized by collectors worldwide.
Intense steel-blue coloration with a ghostly white head. A Taiwan Bee hybrid of extraordinary beauty.
Deep, translucent red throughout the entire body — the color comes from tissue, not the shell. Stunning under light.
Rich velvet-blue coloration covering the entire body. A selectively bred Neocaridina with remarkable depth of colour.
Maintaining stable water chemistry is the single most important factor for healthy, breeding shrimp colonies.
Range: 20–26°C
Stability matters more than precision
Neocaridina: 6.5–8.0
Caridina: 5.4–6.8
Essential for molting
Caridina: 4–6 · Neo: 6–12
Total Dissolved Solids
Caridina: 100–150 · Neo: 150–250
Run your aquarium with active filtration and an ammonia source for 4–6 weeks. Test regularly until ammonia and nitrites read zero. Patience here saves lives.
Active buffering substrates (ADA Amazonia, Controsoil) are essential for Caridina. Neocaridina thrive on inert substrates. Match substrate to your species.
Always drip-acclimate new arrivals over 1–2 hours. Sudden parameter shifts are the leading cause of losses. Use airline tubing tied in a loose knot.
Shrimp are efficient biofilm grazers. Supplement with blanched vegetables, mineral supplements, and specialty foods 2–3 times per week. Remove uneaten food after 2 hours.
Weekly 10–15% water changes with remineralized RO water. Test parameters weekly. Avoid large water changes — shrimp prize stability over perfection.
