Build your own shrimp mix
Choose your favourite Neocaridina colours and how many shrimp you want of each. You see the price per shrimp and your total as you go, and the whole mix arrives in one parcel.
Choose any shrimp species — from 3 pieces each. The mix ships in one bag.
How the shrimp mix works
1. Pick the colours you like from 17 Neocaridina davidi varieties: red, blue, yellow, orange, green, black and more.
2. Add at least 3 shrimp of each colour you choose.
3. When your mix reaches €40, add it to the cart. You can order plants, food or other products in the same order.
Every shrimp in the mix has its own price. If you want 10 or more of one colour, the packs on the product page are cheaper per shrimp.
Different colours in one aquarium
All shrimp in the mix are Neocaridina davidi. They need the same water and live together peacefully: pH 7.2–7.5, GH 4–8 and KH 2–5 suit all of them. Not sure about your tap water? Check it with our water hardness tool.
Remember that different Neocaridina colours interbreed. A mixed tank looks colourful, but over the generations the young lose the bright colour and become brownish or transparent, like wild shrimp. If you want to breed one pure colour, keep it in a separate tank.
