We want you to enjoy the experience of shrimp keeping for years to come just as much as we do.
Diet
: Neocaridina Shrimp are natural scavengers and eat a wide variety of food. We feed ours a variety of flake foods, wardley sinking pellets, and tetra color tropical granules. We also feed green beens and zucchini on occasion.
Neocaridina Dividi are a
freshwater
high-order shrimp that carry their eggs, which hatch into miniature copies of the adults. There is no larval stage.
Environment
: Shrimp should be kept with live aquarium plants. This gives more grazing room as your colony grows and provides a natural source of food for your shrimp to thrive.
Filter
: We strongly recommend using a sponge filter to protect your shrimp from being sucked up by any intake and getting lost or killed inside your filter.
Test your water before you buy shrimp, not after they start dying. too late.
**Dwarf Shrimp** literally translates to **Small Small** so if you are expecting a pet lobster you will be disappointed.
