Selected Neocaridina Dark Green Jade

At the turn of the year, some of our strains are selected and animals that do not meet our breeding goals are discarded. The selected Neocaridina Dark Green Jade offered here are usually too dark or ochre-colored, so they do not meet our breeding goals and are discarded.

Size for sale: Animals for sale have a minimum size of 1 cm, i.e. they are just before sexual maturity. Most animals are sexually mature.

General information on keeping and breeding: Like all dwarf shrimps of the genus Neocaridina, these animals are very adaptable and can usually be kept in tap water (18 - 26 °C) without any problems. In our facility, the tap water has the following values: pH 7.6, gH 10; kH 9, conductivity 600uS, 22 °C. The animals feed on conventional fish food, algae growth and dead animal and plant material. This means that they are ideal at using up leftovers and contribute to the biological balance in the aquarium. Keeping them with small and medium-sized aquarium fish can work, but it is recommended to provide sufficient hiding places such as moss and roots. Under optimal conditions, animals quickly grow into lively colonies.
