Neocaridina sp. Shrimp

Neocaridina sp. leaves the species unspecified. Names such as Blue Aura, Black Star and Fire identify the offers here, but do not certify a colour grade, sex or breeding line. Supplied size describes the shrimp being sent, not a verified adult length. The name “black algae” also does not establish which algae that shrimp will eat. If you need a particular line or sex, ask about the exact offer before ordering.

Use a mature, filtered aquarium with grazing surfaces, plants or other cover, and a protected filter intake. Test for zero ammonia and nitrite; algae-eating shrimp cannot put an uncycled tank right. Supplement natural grazing with small portions of suitable shrimp food and remove persistent leftovers. Fish may eat shrimp, particularly young ones, so check every existing resident. Measure your temperature, pH, GH and KH before asking about suitability. Where water details are unconfirmed, choose “Only show listings with matching care information” to exclude uncertain filter matches.
