The Wonderful, Tiny World of Neocaridina Shrimp!

 Small But Mighty: Why Neocaridina Shrimp Make Amazing Aquarium Pets

If you’re looking for a colorful, low-maintenance, and fascinating addition to your aquarium, look no further than Neocaridina shrimp. These tiny freshwater shrimp are prized by hobbyists for their vivid colors, ease of care, and helpful nature. Even better—they’re on sale now through 11/2/25 at Uncle Bill’s Pet Centers!

~Why Neocaridina Shrimp Are Great Pets 

• Bright Colors & Variety – From vibrant reds and yellows to blues, greens, and even translucent tones, Neocaridina shrimp add a splash of living color to your tank.

• Easy to Care For – These shrimp thrive in a wide range of freshwater parameters, making them perfect for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

• Excellent Tank Cleaners – Neocaridina shrimp are natural scavengers. They’ll happily munch on algae, leftover fish food, and detritus, helping to keep your tank cleaner and healthier.

• Peaceful & Active – Watching a group of shrimp dart around plants and rocks is both relaxing and entertaining—especially during feeding time or while they’re exploring new hiding spots.

~Keeping Neocaridina Shrimp 

A small, planted freshwater aquarium is ideal. A 10-gallon tank with gentle filtration, stable water parameters, and plenty of hiding spots (plants, moss, and driftwood) creates a great habitat. They love live plants like Java moss or Anubias because these provide grazing areas and cover.

~Possible Tankmates for Neocaridina Shrimp

Because of their small size, Neocaridina shrimp do best with peaceful co-habitants. Consider pairing them with: 

• Nano fish like celestial pearl danios or small rasboras

• Snails like nerites or mystery snails

• Other dwarf shrimp species (with compatible water parameters)

• Avoid aggressive or predatory fish that might see your shrimp as a snack. A shrimp-only tank is also a fantastic option—especially if you want to see natural behaviors like grazing and even baby shrimp appearing over time.
