The Orange Sunkist Shrimp is a vibrant Neocaridina variety celebrated for its intense orange coloration, which brings warmth and energy to any freshwater aquarium. Its bold color makes it a focal point in planted tanks, nano aquariums, and species-only shrimp setups.
Shipped at 0.5–0.75 inches, these juveniles are hardy and will grow to about 1–1.2 inches, with their vivid orange tones intensifying as they mature.
Care & Aquarium Requirements:
Orange Sunkist Shrimp thrive in soft, stable, slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5, temperature 70–78°F). They appreciate planted aquariums with moss, driftwood, and surfaces rich in biofilm, which support natural foraging behavior. Peaceful and active, they are ideal for species-focused Neocaridina setups or mixed tanks with other gentle shrimp.
Breeding Information:
Females carry eggs until hatching, producing offspring that inherit the bright orange coloration. Maintaining stable water parameters ensures healthy juveniles, vibrant color, and successful colony growth.
