Green Jade Shrimp (A Grade) Medium

Description

Green Jade Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are a vibrant and hardy freshwater shrimp species, popular among aquarists for their stunning emerald coloration and ease of care. 

Overview

  • Scientific Name: Neocaridina davidi
  • Common Name: Green Jade Shrimp
  • Size: 0.75 to 1.25 inches (up to 3 cm)
  • Lifespan: 1.5 to 2.5 years
  • Origin: Selectively bred from Red Cherry Shrimp; native to Taiwan and China.

Tank Setup

  • Tank Size: Minimum 10 gallons for a small colony; increase by 1 gallon per 2–5 additional shrimp.
  • Substrate: Dark substrate enhances their green coloration.
  • Plants: Heavily planted tanks with mosses (e.g., Java moss) provide biofilm and hiding spots.
  • Filtration: Use sponge filters or cover intakes to prevent shrimp from being sucked in.
  • Decor: Include driftwood, rocks, and dense vegetation for shelter.

Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 65–78°F (18–25°C)
  • pH: 6.5–8.0
  • Hardness: 4–14 dGH
  • Water Quality: Stable, clean, and well-oxygenated water is crucial. Avoid sudden changes.

Diet

  • Natural Diet: Algae, biofilm, detritus.
  • Supplemental Feeding:
    • Shrimp pellets
    • Algae wafers
    • Blanched vegetables (spinach, zucchini)
    • Occasional live/frozen foods (brine shrimp, daphnia)
  • Color Enhancement: Carotenoids and color-enhancing compounds help maintain vivid green hues.

Breeding

  • Sexual Dimorphism:
    • Females are larger and more colorful.
    • Females have a saddle-shaped structure for egg storage.
  • Breeding Tips:
    • Stable water conditions and good nutrition are key.
    • Females become “berried” when carrying eggs.
    • Juveniles need nutrient-rich environments for healthy growth.

Benefits

  • Excellent tank cleaners (consume leftover food and algae).
  • Peaceful and social; ideal for community tanks.
  • Easy to breed and maintain, even for beginners.
