Neocaridina "Green Jade extreme"

Neocaridina "Green Jade Extreme", often also sold under the names "Green Jade Golden" or "Golden Hulk", is a selectively bred form of the Neocaridina Green Jade originating from Taiwan. It is characterized by an opaque green base coloration that is often covered by an outer yellowish-green layer, giving many individuals a striking golden appearance. In addition to our regular and relatively color-stable Neocaridina "Dark Green Jade", we offer the new "Green Jade Extreme" as an additional green line because we are simply amazed by the appearance of these shrimp.

How stable is this line? We are currently breeding this line ourselves, and the offspring look very promising. As the animals currently offered are still imported specimens that have completed quarantine, we expect that some selective breeding work will be required in future generations.

Size at sale: All shrimp offered are fully grown and sexually mature. When selecting animals for shipment, we ensure that at least 50% of the shrimp are females.

General care and breeding information: Like all dwarf shrimp of the genus Neocaridina, these animals are highly adaptable and can usually be kept without difficulty in tap water (18–26 °C). In our facility, the tap water parameters are: pH 7.6, GH 10, KH 9, conductivity 600 µS, and 22 °C. The shrimp feed on standard fish food, algae growth, as well as decaying plant and animal matter. This makes them excellent scavengers that contribute to the biological balance of the aquarium. Keeping them together with small to medium-sized aquarium fish can work well, although sufficient hiding places such as mosses and driftwood are recommended. Under optimal conditions, the shrimp reproduce readily and quickly develop into vibrant colonies.
