Yellow shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. "Yellow"*, are hardy, peaceful, freshwater invertebrates that are popular for aquariums due to their bright yellow coloration and ability to keep tanks clean. These selectively bred shrimp reach about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, are omnivorous, and readily breed in captivity. They are easy to care for, adapting to a wide range of water parameters, making them a great choice for beginners. 
Key characteristics:

  • Scientific Name:Neocaridina davidi var. "Yellow" 
  • Appearance:Opaque, bright yellow to golden color 
  • Size:Grows up to 1.5 inches (approx. 1.2 cm) 
  • Temperament:Peaceful and non-aggressive 
  • Diet:Omnivorous, feeding on algae, detritus, and leftover food 
  • Breeding:Breed easily in captivity 
  • Tank Size:A 3-gallon tank is the minimum, but larger tanks are recommended 
Aquarium Care:

  • Water Parameters:They are adaptable, thriving in a variety of water conditions, though a harder GH is often recommended for optimal color. 
  • Diet:Supplement their diet with high-quality shrimp food, algae tablets, and blanched vegetables like zucchini or spinach. 
  • Foraging Behavior:Yellow shrimp spend most of their time foraging for food on surfaces in the aquarium. 
  • Cleanup Crew:They are excellent scavengers, helping to control algae and keep the tank clean. 
Breeding & Grading:
  • Yellow shrimp are a color morph of the wild type Neocaridina shrimp.
  • They are selectively bred for their color, with completely opaque shrimp being more desirable than translucent ones.
  • The females can carry a significant number of eggs, leading to easy breeding and population growth in a suitable environment.
