Green Jade Shrimp

Green Jade Shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. “Green Jade”, is a captivating and unique freshwater shrimp species. With their striking green coloration, Green Jade Shrimp bring a touch of natural beauty to aquariums.

Green Jade Shrimp feature a vibrant green color that ranges from a light, mossy green to a deep emerald shade. Their bodies can be semi-transparent or opaque, allowing the green color to shine through. The intensity of the green hue may vary among individuals, creating an interesting and diverse display.

Green Jade Shrimp are relatively small and typically reach a size of around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) when fully grown. Their compact size makes them suitable for various aquarium setups, including nano tanks and shrimp-specific aquariums.

Green Jade Shrimp are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful fish and invertebrates that share similar water parameters. They are active foragers, constantly exploring and grazing on algae, biofilm, and other organic matter in the aquarium. These shrimp contribute to a clean and balanced ecosystem.

Green Jade Shrimp are considered hardy and relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions. Providing them with a well-planted tank, hiding places, and a varied diet that includes algae-based foods will promote their overall health and vibrant coloration.
