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!

  • Do they crossbreed?

    • With other Neocaridinas? Yes.

    • I believe they do, with other Neocaridina shrimps, however the colors either become weak with the first generation or a weird fusion of colors which can be interesting to look at, but eventually down the line, the weird fusion becomes brown or faded…

  • I've purchased 3 pairs of Endler Guppies from you over a year ago, and now the females are huge! Their mouse are over 5mm wide I think! Do you think they'll make a meal of out these shrimps?

    • If it fits, they will eat it

      • Thanks :)
        I just want to make sure they can survive in my tank without becoming an expansive $2.50 meal

        btw, mouth over 5mm, mot mouse :)

      I've never seen even adult guppies eat adult shrimp… but yours sound bigger than I've seen before?

      Can't guarantee it but usually guppies are fine with shrimp (they will eat the babies though, but we don't sell babies).

    • Ive kept endlers and blue cherry's for years and both populations thrive… no dramas here… (planted tank)

  • Would they survive postage to Perth?

    • Should do

  • Which of the Neocaridina would breed the most?

    • All about the same, but blues/yellows/chocolates are a bit more fragile so would breed less.

  • Where's the pick up location?

    • 153/313 Harris st Pyrmont Sydney

  • OP, ordered some stuff on the 2nd, still shows as unfulfilled?

    • Should have been sent, may just have forgotten to fulfill.

      • shows as Fulfilled now, and received an email update around 30 mins after your response here - but no tracking even though the postage says Parcel Post (2-5 days) Tracked.
        When can I actually expect delivery?

        • Should have tracking, send me an email i can send you that.

          • @Brandingo: I see it now, looks like this was only dispatched yesterday :/
