Green Jade Neocaridina Shrimps (Neocaridina davidi "Green Jade")

The Green Jade Shrimp is a rare and highly sought-after color variation of Neocaridina davidi, admired for its deep and uniform emerald coloration. Their bodies display a striking green pigment ranging from moss-green to intense jade tones. Their rich color and glossy appearance make them a true eye-catcher in any aquascape, especially when contrasted with vivid green plants.

Green Jade Shrimp are prized for their rare and intense coloration, which is still not very common in aquariums compared to other Neocaridina varieties. They are very robust and easy to keep, making them perfect both for newcomers and experienced hobbyists.

They feel most comfortable in well-planted aquariums with mosses and fine structures to graze on. As natural algae eaters, they contribute to a clean and balanced ecosystem. Their diet should include plant-based foods and occasional protein supplements for healthy molting and reproduction.

🏡 Ideal Tank Setup

• Keep in peaceful community tanks

• Best in groups of 10–20 shrimp or more

• Compatible with small peaceful fish, snails, and other shrimp

• Avoid mixing with other Neocaridina colors → offspring may lose the jade coloration

🐣 Breeding

Breeding Green Jade Shrimp is very simple:

• Females carry the eggs 3–4 weeks

• Release 20–40 fully developed offspring

• Juveniles can remain in the same tank — adults do not prey on them

Color quality in offspring depends strongly on water quality, food, and stable conditions.
