Description

Neocaridina Snowball 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.

    Even cuter in person

    Posted by Elaine on Jan 4th 2024

    Absolutely love these little guys. I'd been wanting snowballs for a long time but never pulled the trigger. Well, very happy I finally did and they are even cuter in person than in photos. Their beady black eyes really stand out against their translucent bodies, so darn cute. All the shrimp arrived alive and after acclimating into their tank they are all scavenging and seem to be doing very well.
