We finally have a range of Neocaridina shrimp back in stock!
Ghosts - $2
Red Cherries - $3.50
Chocolates - $6
Yellows - $9
Blues - $11

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!

      Back when I was into aquariums, there was a good return on breeding crystal shrimp, dunno what’s currently popular.

    Cross breed between cherry & glass shrimp sometimes has similar color with this one

      These are all from the same species, so cross breeding them will give you various results, and often some children will have different colors as well.

    What's the recommended stocking density?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 21/09/2022 - 19:30

      We recommend getting 6-10 to start a colony. If you have a really big tank 10-20 would be good.
