Neocaridina Shrimp Breeding & Tank Setup Tips

Breeding Tip

To encourage successful breeding, keep your shrimp in a stress-free environment with stable water parameters. Provide plenty of hiding spots with plants and moss where baby shrimp can stay protected. A consistent feeding schedule with high-quality shrimp food and calcium supplements will support healthy molting and reproduction.

Water Parameters 

pH: 6.5–8.0, Temperature: 68–78°F, TDS: 180–250ppm. These shrimp are flexible but still appreciate consistency.

Tank Size

You can start with as little as 5 gallons, but 10+ gallons allows for better stability and growth.

Substrate & Plants

Use a dark substrate to help their colors pop, and include mosses, ferns, or floating plants for biofilm and hiding spaces.

Feeding

Offer a balanced diet including algae wafers, blanched veggies (like spinach and zucchini), and protein-based shrimp pellets.
