Selected Neocaridina Dark Green Jade

Our strains are regularly selected, and animals that do not meet our breeding goals are sorted out. The Neocaridina Green Demon offered here are such selected-out animals: they are only very weakly colored, often showing a yellowish to ocher hue, and therefore do not match our breeding target.

Delivery size: Animals for sale have a minimum size of 0.8 cm, which is just before reaching sexual maturity. If sexually mature animals are offered, we of course ensure an even gender distribution.

General care and breeding: Like all dwarf shrimp of the genus Neocaridina, these animals are very adaptable and can usually be kept without problems in tap water (18–26 °C). In our facility, the tap water values are: pH 7.6, gH 10, kH 9, conductivity 600 µS, 22 °C. The animals feed on conventional fish food, algae growth, as well as dead animal and plant matter. This makes them excellent recyclers and helps maintain the biological balance in the aquarium. Cohabitation 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, the animals quickly grow into lively colonies.
