🐠 Compatibility

Suitable for peaceful community aquariums with small, non-aggressive fish such as tetras, rasboras, endlers, and pygmy Corydoras. Avoid large or predatory species that may eat shrimp.

⚠️ Important Notes

When different Neocaridina colours are kept together, they will interbreed over time. This often results in offspring reverting to more natural or “wild-type” brown/clear coloration. For maintaining specific colours, it’s best to keep each variety separately.

The Mixed Colour Shrimp is a fantastic choice for UK aquarists looking for a lively, colourful, and low-maintenance addition that enhances both the beauty and balance of a freshwater aquarium.
