Yellow Fire Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) Locally Bred-Shrimp Index

Description

Yellow Fire Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. "Yellow") is a vibrant and hardy freshwater shrimp, ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists. 

Aquarium Setup
  • Tank Size: Minimum 5 gallons, though 10+ gallons is better for stability and breeding.
  • Substrate: No special substrate needed; inert gravel or sand works fine.
  • Filtration: Use a sponge filter or pre-filter sponge to protect baby shrimp from being sucked in 
  • Plants & Decor: Provide hiding spots with mosses (e.g., Java Moss), driftwood, rocks, and leaf litter 
  • Lighting: No special requirements, but moderate lighting helps algae and biofilm growth.

Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 65–78°F (18–26°C) 
  • pH: 6.2–8.0 (ideal: 6.5–7.5) 
  • GH (General Hardness): 4–8 dGH
  • KH (Carbonate Hardness): 3–15 dKH
  • TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): 150–250 ppm
  • Ammonia/Nitrite: Always 0; Nitrate should be kept low
Diet

Yellow Fire Shrimp are omnivorous scavengers:

  • Staples: Algae wafers, shrimp pellets, sinking fish food 
  • Vegetables: Blanched spinach, zucchini, or cucumber
  • Protein: Occasional treats like baby brine shrimp or daphnia 
  • Natural Foraging: Biofilm, algae, and detritus in a mature tank 

Breeding

  • Ease: Very easy under stable conditions
  • Reproduction: Females carry bright yellow eggs under their abdomen for ~30 days 
  • Young: Born as miniature adults (no larval stage)
  • Tip: Cover filter intakes with sponge to protect fry

Tankmates

  • Best Companions: Peaceful nano fish like rasboras, small tetras, endlers, and snails [
  • Avoid: Large or aggressive fish (e.g., cichlids, bettas) that may eat shrimp
  • Colony Size: Best kept in groups for social behavior
