About Yellow Golden Back Shrimp Yellow Golden Back Shrimp are a selectively bred yellow colour variety of Neocaridina davidi. Many individuals show a brighter yellow stripe along the back, creating a striking contrast against the rest of the body. Colour and stripe intensity naturally vary between shrimp.
Aquarium Setup & Care Keep these shrimp in a mature, fully cycled aquarium with stable water conditions, mosses, plants and hiding places. A sponge filter or protected filter intake helps protect young shrimp. Avoid sudden changes in water chemistry and copper-containing medications.
Feeding & Nutrition Breeding Yellow Golden Back Shrimp In a mature aquarium with stable conditions, Neocaridina shrimp can reproduce readily. Dense plants and mosses provide shelter for newly hatched shrimplets. Keep this yellow strain separately from other Neocaridina colours if you want to maintain more consistent yellow offspring.
Acclimation & Live Shipping Inspect your shrimp promptly upon arrival and acclimate carefully to differences in water chemistry and temperature. Avoid abrupt changes. Orders are supported by The Wet Leaf's 100% Live Arrival Guarantee, subject to published terms.
