These Freshwater Dwarf Shrimp are a great addition to your clean-up crew.
The Neocaridina family being one of the hardiest dwarf shrimp out there, they can survive temperatures as low as 15C up to 30C but thrive and breed readily between 21 and 26 Degrees.

Dwarf Shrimp are scavengers. They eat algae, bacteria and other microorganisms around the tank, and will never attack other live animals. They have a minimum bio-load and are a great addition to almost any tank's ecosystem!
Don't forget to check out our plants for combined postage and keeping the shrimp happy in transit!

Keeping with fish:
The general rule for all aquatic life is "if it fits in their mouth they will eat it." Unless you have specifically passive or vegetarian fish, shrimp may be eaten by any fish which is large enough to swallow one hole. Adult shrimp grow to 2cm in length, with juveniles being at least 1cm. Conversely, any smaller fish will live with them very happily. They may eat the baby shrimp if they breed, but if you have enough plant cover, usually enough survive to keep the colony going.

If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask!

      Thanks!

  • peeppeep on 23/01/2024 - 17:43

    Why is there a difference in prices by colour? Are the blues rarer than the ghosts?

    • CyberMurning on 23/01/2024 - 17:55

      of course blue is on different level.
      ghost basically food, if you check gumtree someone can sell you for 10c each if you buy a lot

  • CyberMurning on 23/01/2024 - 17:57

    i have some shrimps not the high levels but colours, they have been breeding but the population never exploded…. i mean i see lots new babies now and then but they seems to dissapears after few week. rinse and repeat. the big ones are still there. breeading again….
    any tips?

    • victimize on 23/01/2024 - 18:12

      stop eating them

    • elitistphoenix on 23/01/2024 - 18:19

      Ditto. Love some tips from Brandingo.
      temps are right. other fish are ok.

    • tsunamisurfer on 23/01/2024 - 18:41

      I assume your water is right in terms of being cycled etc.

      With breeding shrimps in a community tank, almost any fish will ago after baby shrimps in open water.

      I had plants and a moss wall and there were plenty of places to hide for them.

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 23/01/2024 - 19:59

      What fish are in the tank? as Tsunamisurfer mentioned any fish will eat babies.

      Though other possibilities are not enough food, or getting sucked into a filter?

      • CyberMurning on 23/01/2024 - 21:35

        No fish no snail just shrimp tank with mini anubias and some java moss. One Small sponge filters only. Been like that for more than a year.

        • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 23/01/2024 - 22:15

          Hmm, How large is the tank? Other possibilities:

          • too small a tank (not sure why this matters but in my experience it does)
          • Not enough food (this is hard to balance since if you overfeed you get planaria easily

          Could also be a lack of calsium, maybe consider adding some cuttlefish bone? We sell that too but haven't listed it online yet.

          • blahoz on 24/01/2024 - 10:44

            @Brandingo: @Brandingo, curious but just wondering where planaria would come from if you don't introduce any new plants/livestock? Can it be from when you change water?

            Also how often are you supposed to change the water on a shrimp only tank since if I'm not mistaken their bioload is negligible?

            • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 24/01/2024 - 13:34

              @blahoz: Theoretically you won't, but planaria (and other worms) can be microscopic, so can come in even from tanks where they aren't visible.

              Also up to you, what works for you works but I keep up waterchanges even in shrimp only tanks.

  • tsunamisurfer on 23/01/2024 - 18:32

    Man I would love to have a tank again.

    I had a small tank (20L) and the red cherries would multiply like crazy.

    Perth heat.
    Perth super hard water.

    These guys just laugh it off.

    I started selling them cheap on the fish forums and actually made a profit because they bred so quickly.

  • w33w00 on 23/01/2024 - 18:42

    I have a 20L cheapie tank from Kmart. Currently just have two mystery snails and an albino corydoras - will adding shrimp overload/crash the tank ecosystem? Or will they all live in Hakuna Matata harmony?

    Also, does the colour of shrimp matter any?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 23/01/2024 - 20:02

      Color is just color, price is due to rarity.

      Shrimp have a fairly low bio-load so there should not be any issues adding them into the tank.
