The Green Jelly Shrimp is a unique and eye-catching Neocaridina variety known for its soft translucent green coloration and subtle pastel tones. This uncommon color morph adds a natural, earthy look to planted aquariums, blending beautifully with aquatic plants while still standing out with its gentle green hue. Hardy, peaceful, and easy to care for, Green Jelly Shrimp are perfect for both beginners and experienced shrimp keepers.
Approximate Shipping Size: 0.5–0.75 inches
Green Jelly Shrimp display a semi-translucent body with light green to yellow-green tones that can vary depending on genetics and environment. Their soft coloration gives them a clean, natural aesthetic that pairs especially well with lush planted tanks. As they mature, their coloration may become slightly more pronounced under proper lighting and diet.
These shrimp are completely peaceful and highly active, spending most of their time grazing on surfaces throughout the aquarium. They thrive in colonies and are most active and visible when kept in groups. Green Jelly Shrimp contribute to a healthy tank by feeding on algae, biofilm, and organic debris.
Green Jelly Shrimp are hardy and adaptable, making them suitable for a wide range of freshwater aquariums. A stable, well-established tank with plants and biofilm-rich surfaces is ideal for long-term success.
Tank Size: 5 gallons minimum
Temperature: 68–78°F
pH: 6.5–7.8
Hardness: Moderate
Aquascape: Moss, plants, driftwood, biofilm surfaces
Best kept in shrimp-only setups or with small, peaceful species such as nano fish, rasboras, Corydoras, and Otocinclus. Avoid aggressive or large fish that may prey on shrimp, especially juveniles.
Green Jelly Shrimp are natural grazers that feed on algae and biofilm. Supplement with high-quality shrimp pellets, algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional protein-rich foods to support molting and overall health.
