Tank Recommendations

Orange Neocaridina Shrimp thrive in mature, well-established aquariums with stable water parameters. A planted aquarium with mosses, driftwood, and plenty of hiding places will help them feel secure and encourage breeding. They are ideal for community tanks with peaceful nano fish but should not be housed with large or aggressive fish that may prey on them.

Breeding

Orange Neocaridina Shrimp readily reproduce in freshwater without requiring brackish water. Given stable water conditions, proper nutrition, and a safe environment, colonies will naturally grow over time.

Shipping Information

Every shrimp is carefully packed using insulated packaging when needed to help ensure a safe journey. Because shrimp are live animals, we recommend bringing the package indoors as soon as possible after delivery and acclimating them slowly before introducing them to your aquarium.

Healthy Arrival Guarantee: We take great care in packaging every order. If your shrimp arrive with any issues, contact us within 2 hours of delivery with clear photos, and we'll work with you to make it right.

Please Note: Shrimp coloration may vary slightly depending on age, genetics, diet, stress during shipping, and aquarium conditions. Juvenile shrimp typically develop deeper coloration as they mature.
