Our carefully assembled sets of freshwater shrimp offer your little crawlers the security of the group from day one in your freshwater aquarium.
The beautifully and intensely colored Pinto Shrimp, Blue Shadow Mosura, Pinto Mixer and others are all cultivated forms of Caridina logemanni and crosses of different Caridina species. They require soft water and are more suitable for advanced keepers and breeders.
The colorful breeding forms of Neocaridina davidi like the red Red Sakura, the yellow Yellow Fire, the blue Blue Jelly, the orange Orange Sakura, the black Black Sakura we have put together to the color matching Rainbow Mix, Germany Shrimp Mix and Fire Shrimp Mix Sets. Neocaridina davidi, the algae shrimp or backstroke shrimp, is an exceptionally robust and insensitive species, it is also wonderfully suitable for beginners. They do not only fit into a species tank, but also into a community aqu arium with peaceful fish like for example various bearblings or carping fish.
Even in a nano aquarium with a capacity of 20 liters or more, such as a Cube Aquarium, a Scapers' Tank or an AquaArt Aquarium, dwarf shrimp can be kept very well. In case of unsuitable tap water, there are salts for hardening, which are specially tailored to all soft water shrimps or all Neocaridina species from somewhat harder water.
Please note that with the offspring of the Neocaridina Mix Sets different colors can fall, including now and then also the wild form, which looks rather transparent to brownish.
