Neocaridina davidi "Yellow Neon Stripe"

The Yellow Fire Neonstripe is a bright yellow Neocaridina davidi color variant. Animals of this tribe are bright yellow in colour, characteristic is the intense back stripe, which stands out particularly in female specimens and gives the name "neon stripes".

How stable is this line? Our Yellow Fire Neonstripe line is very stable as one of the standard colors. Almost all animals of this line have the distinctive dorsal line at the onset of sexual maturity. It is advisable to continue to select for a particularly wide back line.

Release size: Release animals have a minimum size of 0.8 cm, i.e. shortly before sexual maturity. If sexually mature animals are handed over, attention is paid to an even sex distribution.

General information on keeping and breeding: Like all dwarf shrimp of the Neocaridina genus, 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 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. They are therefore the best leftovers and contribute to the biological balance in the aquarium. The socialization with small and medium-sized aquarium fish can work, but it is advisable to offer sufficient hiding places such as moss and roots. Under optimal conditions, animals quickly grow into lively colonies.
