| Snowball Shrimp | White to milky white | View Snowball Shrimp |
| Blue Dream Shrimp | Deep blue | View Blue Dream Shrimp |
Fourth of July Shrimp Pack Water Parameters
Because all three included color lines are Neocaridina, they can be maintained under the same general water conditions. Stability is more important than constantly adjusting parameters.
| Parameter | Our Tank Range |
|---|---|
| pH | 7.0–7.8 |
| GH | 7–8 |
| KH | 3–4 |
| TDS | 200–250 ppm |
| Temperature | 65–74°F |
| Ammonia | 0 ppm |
| Nitrite | 0 ppm |
Avoid sudden swings in temperature, pH, hardness, or TDS. A mature, fully cycled aquarium with consistent maintenance gives these shrimp a much better environment than chasing one exact number.
For more detail, read our Neocaridina Shrimp Water Parameters Guide.
Best Tank Setup for a Mixed Red, White & Blue Shrimp Colony
Mature, Cycled Aquarium
Add the shrimp only after the aquarium is fully cycled and biologically mature. Mature tanks provide more stable filtration and a larger supply of biofilm and microorganisms for grazing.
Plants, Moss & Hardscape
Moss, wood, leaves, and live plants create hiding places and increase grazing surface. Dense moss is especially helpful for newborn shrimplets. Browse our live aquarium plants for shrimp-friendly setups.
Gentle Filtration
Sponge filtration works especially well for shrimp tanks because it provides biological filtration, oxygenation, and extra grazing surface without exposing babies to an unprotected intake.
What Do Fourth of July Shrimp Eat?
All three Neocaridina color lines spend much of the day grazing biofilm, microorganisms, soft algae films, decaying organic matter, and tiny food particles.
| Food Source | Role in the Aquarium |
|---|---|
| Biofilm | Important natural grazing source in mature tanks |
| Soft algae films | Frequently grazed from hardscape, plants, and glass |
| Shrimp foods / wafers | Useful supplemental nutrition for established colonies |
| Botanicals / leaves | Add grazing surface and slowly decomposing organic material |
| Blanched vegetables | Optional occasional supplemental food |
Feed conservatively and remove excess food before it begins to affect water quality. Browse our shrimp food and botanicals for supplemental feeding options.
Will the Red, White & Blue Shrimp Interbreed?
Yes. Fire Red Cherry, Snowball, and Blue Dream Shrimp are all Neocaridina and can interbreed with one another.
That means future generations may not consistently remain red, white, and blue. Offspring can show less predictable coloration, intermediate traits, or increasingly wild-type coloration over time.
Important for breeders: Choose this pack for a mixed-color display colony. If your goal is to preserve a specific color line, keep each Neocaridina color in a separate breeding aquarium.
Fourth of July Shrimp Pack vs. Buying Individual Colors
| Option | Best For |
|---|---|
| Fourth of July Shrimp Pack | Hobbyists who want a ready-made red, white, and blue mixed display |
| Individual Fire Red Cherry Shrimp | Maintaining or breeding a dedicated red line |
| Individual Snowball Shrimp | Maintaining or breeding a dedicated white line |
| Individual Blue Dream Shrimp | Maintaining or breeding a dedicated blue line |
Fourth of July Shrimp Tank Mates
These Neocaridina are peaceful. Snails and other non-aggressive invertebrates are commonly compatible, while some small peaceful fish can work in heavily planted tanks. However, nearly any fish may eat newborn shrimplets.
For maximum breeding success and baby-shrimp survival, a dedicated shrimp tank is the safest option.

Acclimating Your Fourth of July Shrimp Pack
Shipping water can differ from your aquarium in temperature, pH, GH, KH, and TDS. A gradual acclimation process helps reduce stress while the shrimp adjust to your aquarium.
Follow our Freshwater Shrimp Acclimation Guide before releasing new livestock.
Live Arrival & DOA Policy: Livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee / DOA Policy. Review the policy before ordering for arrival, documentation, and claim requirements.

Fourth of July Shrimp Pack FAQ
What shrimp are included in the Fourth of July Shrimp Pack?
The pack includes a mixed assortment of Fire Red Cherry, Snowball, and Blue Dream Neocaridina shrimp.
How big are the shrimp when shipped?
The shrimp are approximately 1/2 to 1 inch and are sold at breeding age.
Are all three colors Neocaridina?
Yes. Fire Red Cherry, Snowball, and Blue Dream Shrimp are all Neocaridina and share the same general care requirements.
Are Fourth of July Shrimp good for beginners?
Yes. Neocaridina are generally beginner-friendly when kept in a mature, fully cycled aquarium with stable water chemistry.
What water parameters do they need?
Our listed range is approximately pH 7.0–7.8, GH 7–8, KH 3–4, TDS 200–250 ppm, and 65–74°F. Stability matters more than chasing exact values.
Will the red, white, and blue shrimp breed together?
Yes. Because all three are Neocaridina, they can interbreed.
Will their babies stay red, white, and blue?
Not necessarily. Mixed Neocaridina offspring can show unpredictable colors and may trend toward wild-type coloration over later generations.
Is the exact number of each color guaranteed?
The product is sold as a mixed red, white, and blue assortment. Exact counts of each color can vary depending on the selected pack size.
Can I keep the Fourth of July Shrimp Pack with other Neocaridina?
Yes, but adding more Neocaridina color lines creates additional opportunities for interbreeding and less predictable offspring.
Can they live with fish?
They can live with some small peaceful fish, but fish may prey on newborn shrimplets. A dedicated shrimp tank gives the best breeding and survival rates.
Do they eat algae?
They graze on soft algae films and biofilm, but they are not a complete algae-control solution. Proper aquarium maintenance is still necessary.
Do they need a heater?
Not always. If room temperature keeps the aquarium consistently within a suitable range, a heater may be unnecessary.
Do they need a filter?
A mature biological filter is strongly recommended. Sponge filters are especially shrimp-friendly because they provide gentle filtration and extra grazing surface.

All shrimp arrived alive, along with 1 Pom Pom crab. Looking great in planted tank
Plucky little guys, right on time! Nice bright colors.
They arrived quickly and all were alive and well! So excited that I have already ordered another batch but this time I went with the breeder pack.
The shrimp seem to like their new, home, and they're even feeling safe enough to make a fry.
Thank you for another wonderful delivery! The shrimp arrived alive, and packaged very well. My kids noticed that there were baby shrimp in the package as well as a berried female. We will definitely order from Shrimp Up Aquatics again.
The shrimp arrived perfectly in the package! I love them! They are so cute! One didn't make it but I suppose that's fair traveling a few states. I still received what I ordered plus a couple more. Definitely, we'll be purchasing from this seller again. I was very impressed with packaging.The sawdust, though, was a little messy, but I can deal with that.
Everything came in great. On time and alive. Always a great experience
They are small, I got skittles shrimp earlier in January. Those are finally getting big enough to find easier, so I thought I'd add to my tank so they can grow together. They are so much fun to watch.
I ordered the 4th of July pack. The mail has been so slow lately so most of them had died. Contacted the company and they sent a replacement order. Again the mail was so slow, (not the company's fault.) Over half had died again. They are going to refund for the missing ones. Overall very happy with the ones that have lived! And extremely happy with the customer service! Will be ordering again in the future!
I’m happy with the shrimp, healthy and strong perfect for beginners, for good healthy shrimp it’s always best to order from good breeders who knows what they are doing thank you for the shrimp keep up the good work.
Arrived healthy and alive. I think they finally got their double bag /shipping down to an art.
These shrimp are tiny compared to the amano shrimp in my 20 gal. nano tank. The blue and white shrimp sneak out in the evening but the the reds are always about. The red shrimp are always grooming the algae for bits of food. They help to clean the messes of the dwarf African clawed frogs. They especially love to climb in the guppy grass .their mates are endlers,guppies,kuhli loaches,bumblebee gobies, and pygmy albino cory cats,mystery snails ramhorn snails and little pond snail pests, and amano shrimp. They get along with everybody.
Review is in the 2nd pic 🫶🏻
First order had a mix up with only half the shrimp included. The order was quickly replaced and included some berried shrimp as there were babies in the bag when they arrived.

Love Shrimp up aquatics! Healthy vibrant shrimp every time!
I ordered a 10 pack- first time ordering live fish / shrimp online! They all arrived in one piece! I’m very Happy with them, they are so cute! The seller gave a really good mix of colors. Will order again in the future!!
They answered all my questions and concerns and all of the shrimp came alive and healthy! 10/10 would recommended and would order from again I got the 4th of July shrimp pack
Shrimp arrived a day late. No fault of the shipper. It was due to bad weather conditions. Unfortunately I lost 2. Others seem to be doing great. Would love to add more once I get a little more shrimp experience.
All shrimp arrived alive and well! After a few weeks I did lose 2, but one of the cherry shrimp had shrimplets which was a very pleasant surprise. Looking at getting some jade shrimp for my red plant aquarium!
Received them fast, I did pay exempts for air so they’d hopefully have less travel stress. Energetic, beautiful and very cute! Had a small mistake where I only received half of the 20 shrimp but once I emailed and sent photos, it was quickly taken care of and received the other half the next week. Good customer service, will 10/10 purchase from again!
Very well packed, nice colors! Looks really good!
Loving my shrimpies! They came packed well, they are all healthy and thriving. One of the mamas even hatched her little shrimplets in the bag. They were tiny and all bouncing around and lively. I couldn't recommend this seller enough! I'm already on my third order.
They were all very lively when I opened the box. They have done very well. It has been 6 days and all is good!
Arrived safe although a few days later then expected. I have lots of hiding spots so most I’ve seen at once is 8 but they are actively eating up biofilm and don’t think any have died. Will be adding to the group in a few months most likely. Enjoying them 😉
Great. Only 2 DOA but I didn't pay attention to the policy. My fault.
There hanging tough with the glow fish!, gotta keep your eyes 👀 peeled to find them! 🤙🔆🤙
good
Shrimp that were alive were vibrant and acclimated well to my tank. One shrimp was DOA. Shipping was quick and accurate.
Got 12 shrimp in total and also had babies in the bag! I was super impressed with them and none of them were DOA!
Love my purchases! Will buy again! ❤️
Love my new shrimp! only had 1 DOA. But that's ok with I had 4 shrimp that were pregnant. So I'm happy 😊. Would def order again.
All of my shrimp were active and healthy. Delivered to my mailbox and immediately I recovered them and did notice the box was a little wet from leakage on the bottom. The bag they came in was huge and plenty of water to spare so not much leaked out.
So far so good. They hide during the day but I’ve seen them foraging around at night. Shipping was super fast. Like wow. Great so far
Very Good
Love the shrimp.
They were in good shape
I was skeptical at first making this online purchase but when I received this 4th of July live shrimp package, I was surprised! I got more than what I expected. They know shrimp! Really nice healthy fun shrimp. My only complaint is that I want more. I feel it's a good deal. I'm happy.
All 10 arrived happy and healthy. They are doing great! Will buy again.
