Neocaridina Sidekicks Cherry Shrimp Low Grade

Renowned for their hardiness and ease of care, these sidekicks are ideal for both novice and seasoned aquarists. 

These Neocaridina Shrimp are from our high-grade tanks, but they didn’t quite make the cut due to subtle imperfections in their colour or pattern. While they may not have the refined look of higher-grade varieties, they still possess all the personality and charm that make Neo Shrimp a favourite among aquarium enthusiasts. Their gentle hues are perfect for those seeking shrimp with a natural, understated beauty.

Hardy and adaptable, these shrimp are a great choice for beginners or anyone looking to expand their shrimp colony without the pressure of owning high-grade specimens. They thrive in well-maintained freshwater aquariums with plenty of hiding spots. Though they may not boast the brightest colours, they still add a unique charm to any tank.

Give these wonderful shrimp a beautiful home, and with the right care and environment, they’ll flourish and bring peaceful activity to your aquarium. If you're looking for a low-maintenance yet beautiful addition to your tank, our Sidekick  Shrimp Neocaridina Shrimps are the perfect choice!

Feeding Guidelines: Feed every other day with a variety of foods. At Shrimp Cove, we provide our shrimp with Vegetable Shrimp Bars, which are plant-based proteins with seaweed, offering essential nutrients. Additionally, we offer Protein Bars weekly to promote growth and breeding, resulting in faster breeding and more eggs per female. These specialised foods are the result of our expertise, culminating in the successful breeding of thousands of shrimp. Don't forget the fresh blanched greens once a week.... we spoil our shrimp at Shrimp Cove!
