High grade Yellow Fire 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 Yellow Fire Shrimp ​​​​​​​neocaridina Heteropoda 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.

The High grade Yellow Fire 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.
