| Scientific name | Neocaridina davidi |
|---|---|
| Adult size | 2.5-3.5 cm |
| Minimum aquarium | 30 litres or larger |
| Temperature | 18-26 C |
| pH | 6.5-8.0 |
| Temperament | Peaceful dwarf shrimp; avoid fish that pick at shrimp |
| Diet | Biofilm and algae grazer; supplement with shrimp foods, botanicals and blanched vegetables |
Use a cycled aquarium with sponge-safe filtration, stable temperature and plenty of grazing surfaces. Moss, botanicals, leaf litter and fine plants give juveniles cover and help build the biofilm shrimp feed from all day.
A shrimp-only setup is safest. If you add fish, choose very small peaceful species and expect some baby shrimp losses.
Let the colony graze algae and biofilm, then supplement lightly with shrimp foods, botanicals and soft blanched vegetables. Remove leftovers before they spoil the water.
