About Dark Green Jade Shrimp Dark Green Jade Shrimp are a selectively bred colour variety of Neocaridina davidi. Their deep green, mossy to jade-like appearance can vary naturally between individuals and with lighting. They are peaceful shrimp that spend much of their time exploring plants and hardscape for food.
Aquarium Setup & Care Provide a mature, fully cycled aquarium with stable water chemistry, plants, mosses and hiding spaces. A sponge filter or protected filter intake helps safeguard young shrimp. Avoid sudden parameter changes and copper-containing medications.
Feeding & Nutrition Breeding Dark Green Jade Shrimp In a mature, stable aquarium, Neocaridina shrimp can breed readily. Dense plants and moss provide shelter for shrimplets. Keeping Dark Green Jade shrimp within their own colour line is preferable when aiming for consistent green offspring; mixing Neocaridina colour varieties can result in unpredictable colours.
