The Super Green Shrimp, also known as Neocaridina davidi var. "Super Green," is a vibrant and popular species of freshwater shrimp known for its bright green coloration and peaceful nature. This set includes five Super Green Shrimp specimens, each measuring approximately 1-1.5cm in length. With their striking color and active behavior, these shrimp make a lively and eye-catching addition to any aquarium. Let's explore a detailed description of these fascinating shrimp, including essential information on water conditions, tank mates, feeding habits, and care.

Appearance:

  • Vibrant Green Coloration: Super Green Shrimp exhibit a vivid green color, creating a beautiful and eye-catching display in your aquarium.
  • Small Size: With an average length of 1-1.5cm, these shrimp are petite and add a sense of delicacy to your aquatic setup.

Water Conditions:

  • Temperature: Super Green Shrimp thrive in a tropical environment with temperatures ranging from 68°F to 78°F (20°C to 26°C).
  • pH Level: Maintain a slightly acidic to neutral pH level between 6.5 and 7.5 for optimal health and well-being.
  • Water Hardness: Aim for a moderate water hardness level between 4 and 8 dGH.
  • Filtration: Ensure efficient filtration and provide clean and well-oxygenated water for the shrimp's well-being.

Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful Community Fish: Super Green Shrimp are peaceful and can coexist with other calm and non-aggressive fish species such as Tetras, Rasboras, Guppies, and Corydoras.
  • Non-Predatory Invertebrates: They are compatible with other peaceful shrimp species, snails, and small, non-predatory crayfish.

Feeding Habit:

  • Omnivorous Diet: Super Green Shrimp are omnivores and will consume a variety of food sources.
  • Algae and Biofilm: They graze on algae and biofilm that naturally grow in the aquarium, helping to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
  • Supplemental Feeding: Offer high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, blanched vegetables, or specialized shrimp foods to ensure a well-rounded diet.

Care:

  • Tank Size: Provide a suitable aquarium of at least 5 gallons (19 liters) to accommodate a group of Super Green Shrimp comfortably, allowing ample space for their movement and feeding.
  • Water Quality: Monitor water parameters regularly and perform routine water changes to maintain excellent water quality.
  • Substrate: Utilize a fine-grained substrate that allows the shrimp to forage and explore.
  • Hiding Places: Create hiding spots using live plants, driftwood, or rock formations to provide security and cover for the shrimp.
  • Lighting: Provide moderate lighting levels, as excessive brightness can stress Super Green Shrimp. Use floating plants or diffuse the light to create shaded areas.
