To prepare an aquarium for Neocaridina shrimp, focus on creating a stable, shrimp-friendly environment:

1. Tank Size: A 5-gallon (or larger) tank works well for shrimp, allowing room for both growth and stable water parameters.
2. Substrate: Choose a dark, shrimp-safe substrate, like fine gravel or sand. Dark colors help the shrimp’s colors stand out and can make them feel secure.
3. Plants and Hiding Spots: Add live plants like moss, ferns, or small-leafed plants, which provide natural cover and biofilm for shrimp to graze on. Driftwood and rocks also offer hiding spots.
4. Filter: Use a gentle, low-flow filter, like a sponge filter, to prevent shrimp from being sucked in and to maintain stable water quality.
5. Water Cycling: Cycle the tank fully (typically takes 4-6 weeks) to establish beneficial bacteria. Stable parameters help shrimp adapt quickly to their new environment.
6. Lighting: Moderate lighting encourages plant growth without stressing the shrimp.

Once the aquarium is fully set up and cycled, slowly acclimate the shrimp to the tank to reduce stress, and then enjoy watching your Neocaridina thrive!

• Temperature: 68-78°F (20-26°C), avoiding sudden changes.
• pH: 6.5-8.0, neutral to slightly alkaline.

Usually from 1.5 to 2 years.

Shrimps can breed from 4 to 6-8 times a year.

Neocaridina shrimp are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. They enjoy high-quality shrimp pellets, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini. Feed small amounts once daily, as overfeeding can affect water quality.
