Mixed Low-Grade Cull Neocaridina Shrimp
WAS R50, NOW R35
Perfect for beginners and natural tanks. They show the same fascinating behaviour, busy personalities, and are every bit as enjoyable to watch and care for as their more colourful relatives.
Current colour availability: Our cull shrimp are mostly natural wild-type colours, including greyish, brownish, and transparent shrimp. Mixed in a few low-grade Red Cherry Shrimp with faded red colouring.
Please keep in mind that these are low-grade cull shrimp, so colours and patterns vary greatly. We do our best to include a nice mix from the shrimp we have available, but we cannot guarantee specific colours or ratios. Their affordable price reflects this, making them an excellent choice for clean-up crews, or anyone looking for hardy shrimp at a great price.
Ease of Care: Easy.
Although cull shrimp are hardy, they should still be acclimated carefully before being added to your aquarium. Gradually add a small amount of your aquarium water every 10–15 minutes, repeating this a few times before releasing them into the tank. This helps them adjust safely to your water parameters and reduces stress.
Water Conditions
• Temperature: 20–26°C
• pH: 6.5–7.5
• GH: 6–8
• KH: 2–6
• Very tolerant of a wide range of freshwater conditions.
Diet: Cull shrimp are excellent scavengers and will happily eat almost anything you offer them. However, a varied, high-quality diet will help keep them healthy, support successful moulting, encourage breeding, and bring out their best condition. To give them the nutrition they need, I recommend the following foods:
* Shrimp pellets
* Soft algae and biofilm products like: Bacter AE
* I recommend all Nature Boys products: for example: Snow Powder is a great holiday food.
They enjoy a wide variety of vegetables such as baby marrow, spinach, green beans, pumpkin, broccoli, carrot, butternut, sweet potato, beetroot and lettuce. All vegetables should be lightly blanched so they are soft enough to graze on.
