Cull / Wild-Type Neocaridina Shrimp Pack (10+2)

These are cull / wild-type Neocaridina shrimp, shipped as a bulk 10+2 pack (12 shrimp total). Important: these shrimp have no fancy color. They are clear, faintly marked, or brown wild-type shrimp, so please don't order this pack expecting colorful shrimp. What they lack in color they make up for in hardiness: they're excellent budget cleanup-crew shrimp that graze on biofilm, leftover food, and algae around the tank.

Great for:

• Budget cleanup crews: Peaceful utility shrimp that help keep a tank tidy.
• Beginners: A cheap, hardy way to learn shrimp keeping.
• Feeder or utility keepers: Those who just want hardy Neocaridina without the price of color lines.

Water parameters:

• pH: 6.5-8.0 (slightly acidic to alkaline)
• Temperature: 65-80 °F
• Hardness (GH): 6-15 dGH

Care requirements: Wild-type Neocaridina are some of the hardiest shrimp around. They do best in established, cycled tanks with gentle filtration, and they appreciate plants, moss, and hiding spots. They molt regularly, so a calcium source in the water helps support healthy shell growth. Feed a varied diet of blanched vegetables, biofilm, and quality shrimp food.
