Cherry Shrimp Care Guide

Use a mature, filtered aquarium and measured water—not a shrimp-per-litre rule. Tropical Fish Co uses 20 litres as a cautious starting policy for a small Cherry Shrimp group, above OATA's general 10-litre screen for small shrimp. Provide established grazing surfaces, cover and a protected filter inlet. No fish is guaranteed shrimplet-safe, and breeding should never be promised.

Aquarium setup

Neocaridina heteropoda Blue Jelly should be planned around stable water and a mature aquarium: start with at least 20 litres; keep temperature around 18-28C; aim for pH 6.5-8. Add cover, open swimming space and a steady routine before introducing new livestock.

Behaviour and tank mates

Neocaridina heteropoda Blue Jelly needs stocking choices that respect its behaviour: temperament is listed as peaceful; it usually uses the bottom area of the aquarium.

Neocaridina heteropoda Blue Jelly should be matched with tank mates using the adult size, temperament, water parameters and feeding behaviour on this page. Introduce carefully and watch the first week after delivery.

Feeding and routine care

Use biofilm, algae, blanched vegetables, shrimp pellets, leaf litter as the feeding guide for Neocaridina heteropoda Blue Jelly. Offer small portions, vary the diet where appropriate, and remove uneaten food so water quality remains stable.

Health, delivery and acclimation

Only add Neocaridina heteropoda Blue Jelly to a mature aquarium with stable water. When your order arrives, float and acclimate slowly, keep the lights low, and avoid feeding heavily on the first day. Watch breathing, posture, colour and appetite during the first week.

We connect the listing, SKU, care notes and stock data so you can order the exact animal shown on this page. Livestock is packed in oxygenated bags with insulation and heat packs when needed, then sent by tracked UK courier with live arrival support.

Before you order

Use the facts on this page as a final check before adding Neocaridina heteropoda Blue Jelly to your basket. Confirm the adult size, water conditions, feeding style and behaviour suit the aquarium you already have, then choose tank mates that will not outcompete, bully or stress it after delivery.

If you are building a new setup, let the aquarium mature first and avoid mixing livestock with very different temperature, pH or temperament needs. A careful match at the start is usually the difference between a calm community tank and avoidable losses later.

    I have a small group of long finned mountain minnows. So was delighted to be able to order ten of this variety to increase the genetics in my tank . The ones I recieved are healthy but it’s to early to give a verdict on wether they are of a long finned type since they are small currently.

    100% success travel and "installation". Pleased with quality of purchase. The Siamese fighter a bit "shy" so have not yet seen him at his best yet but looking good. Happy customer. GG
