Green Jade - one of the most eye-catching Neocaridina shrimp!

With its deep green color, Green Jade becomes a real eye-catcher in the aquarium. It is peaceful, active and easy to keep, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced shrimp enthusiasts.

Like other Neocaridina, it thrives best in a well-run aquarium with plenty of hiding places and biofilm to graze on. In addition, it reproduces easily under the right conditions, which makes it extra fun to keep.

We are often asked if you can mix the colors, and yes you can if you want to have it very colorful in your aquarium but you should keep in mind that the shrimp will eventually lose their beautiful color and return to their natural color which is camouflaged to survive in the wild.

Neocaridina are very peaceful among themselves. They thrive together and should live in groups of at least 10. You can have shells and small peaceful fish as company for the prawns. The species is easy to grow and you will probably experience small sea urchins from time to time. A female carries 30-50 eggs for approx. 20-30 days.

The prawns are born fully developed, approx. 3 mm in size.

The shrimp environment

Neocaridina copes with many different water values. Quite ordinary tap water, some gravel at the bottom, a mushroom filter and some plants and decor if you like it are often enough. The shrimps thrive better if you offer them lots of fun hiding places.

When it comes to the size of the aquarium, it is enough to start with 20-30L, but you should bear in mind that the shrimps can quickly become many if you are lucky. Then you may need a bigger one.
