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!

    Assume that these wouldn't go too well with a bristlenose catfish that's about 10cm long?

    • TheBean on 22/04/2024 - 14:30

      They are fine together, at least mine are.

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 22/04/2024 - 15:19

      Most bristlenose are vegetarian, so they won't eat shrimp.

    -5

    Theyre called prawns in australia

    • TheBean on 22/04/2024 - 14:35

      Shrimp are completely different species to prawns.
      It's like calling a yabbie a marron.

    • Hinee on 22/04/2024 - 14:35

      shrimp = shrimp
      prawn = prawn

      Hahaha Alejandro was absent during year 2 Biology class

  • star-ggg on 22/04/2024 - 14:40

    Do the colors interbreed and eventually all become ghost shrimps if kept together?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 22/04/2024 - 15:19

      Yes, though it takes wuite a while and you will have some colored kids. So if you cull you will be alright.

    Bought 10!!!
    5 Reds + 5 Ghosts with plants, boys can’t wait to see it tomorrow.

  • BlitzR on 22/04/2024 - 19:56

    Hi OP, will you be stocking any caridina shrimps any time soon?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 23/04/2024 - 12:54

      Might be but not sure how soon, we need to get some space for them.

  • khey on 23/04/2024 - 08:57

    Can they coexist with a betta fish in a 8l tank?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 23/04/2024 - 12:55

      I would actually say no: Bettas are one of the fish that know when they are molting and will attack the adults.

        Thanks
