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!

  • I've got some clown loaches, yoyo loaches, flying foxes, large angelfish in a 450L tank. Whats the chances of these shrimp becoming fish food?

      If it fits in the mouth it’s fair game

      highly likely

    • depends on how fast they can swim.

      • Loaches and flying foxes are very fast. So looks like a no go for me.

      Yeah, definitely too small for them.

    • Unless you have a tank packed with established living plants they wont survive.

    How old shrimps generally when you send them?
    And how many weeks old would it take for them to breed?

    • We send a mix but mostly juveniles, so that's 1cm about. It would take them a few weeks to become adults and then start breeding.

  • looks like cooked

    • Maybe that's why these are the most popular..?

  • Deep fries with cherries tomatoes … hmmmm🤤

    • I preffer them with garlic and a bit of gold leaf sprinkled on top.
