Shrimp Care Standards

These baseline recommendations will be expanded into species-specific guides as the catalog grows.

Before livestock arrives

Use a mature, cycled aquarium with stable temperature and mineral content. Avoid large parameter swings and confirm that ammonia and nitrite are zero before ordering.

Acclimation

Temperature-match the unopened bag, then use a controlled drip acclimation process. Do not add shipping water to the aquarium. Detailed arrival instructions will be included with livestock orders.

Core Neocaridina range

Temperature: generally 68–76°F
GH: generally 6–10 dGH
KH: generally 2–6 dKH
pH: generally 6.8–7.8
Stable, established biofilm and gentle filtration

Feeding

Feed lightly and remove excess food. A mature shrimp aquarium should also provide natural biofilm, botanicals, and grazing surfaces.
