Blue Diamond Shrimp Neocaridina Heteropoda are easy to care for in the home freshwater aquarium and breed well. They will adapt to a wide range of water conditions, and will thrive in the same conditions as many common aquarium fish. A few fire shrimp can be kept in a desktop aquarium of 4-8 litres  capacity, and a setup of 40 litres or more will allow for an active colony.

 

Blue Diamond Shrimp Neocaridina Heteropoda

 

Blue Diamond Shrimp ​​​​​​​Neocaridina Heteropoda is a non-aggressive shrimp. They are active throughout the day, and can be seen grazing on algae, aquarium décor or the sides of the tank, hunting detritus among the gravel, and sometimes even mating. Periodically a shrimp will shed its exoskeleton, leaving an empty white ghost of itself caught in the plants or drifting around the tank. This should be left in the tank, as the shrimp will eat it to recover the valuable minerals it contains. Blue Diamond Shrimp ​​​​​​​Neocaridina Heteropoda

      Blue Diamond

      i received 20 from discount aquatics and everything came alive, even to the highlands of Scotland so i was a little surprised. Great service, very pleased. All shrimp of a high quality as well with no ugly ones. 3 weeks and they are already berried.

      Diamond!

      All shrimps arrived in excellent condition and on-time. Well packaged and after drip-acclimatisation they appear to be in good health with zero fatalities out of a total purchase of 40! Great customer service too, thank you.
