Beautiful Green Jade shrimp.
Neocaridina shrimp are the most popular type of colorful shrimp found in aquariums. Their vivid colors along with their relative ease to keep and breed make them a favorite of both new and older hobbyists.
The parameters we keep them at are approximately PH 7.0, TDS 250, GH 8-10, KH 3-6. They will survive and thrive in a wide range of water conditions. These conditions are often met by simply using your local tap water and treating with a dechlorinator.
Shrimp are peaceful scavengers that do best in tanks with only shrimp. While your fish may not actively harass/eat them, at least early on, shrimp will tend to hide when they see a fish they are unsure of overhead. Shrimp will spend most of their time foraging on the bottom of the tank, on decorations like wood and stone, and on plants and mosses. It is very important to not overfeed them as this can cause your water quality to deteriorate. Only feed them as much as they will consume in 2 hours. Any leftover food after that time should be removed.

Green Jade Shrimp
Very healthy nice adult shrimp very dark green, they’re were also 3 little babies in the bag the adults are doing very well since putting the babies in I haven’t seen them. The adults are doing absolutely fine in fact I had an older female she was from an orange and yellow shrimp she developed into an enormous shrimp with the most striking colors yellow green which shimmers it must be a translucent color over darker green, I’ve had her for nearly two years she’s in the tank with Green Jade shrimp and she now berried with so many eggs, I’m excited to see what her off spring will look like.
