Gold Back Shrimp Neocaridina 2cm

Overview: The Gold Back Shrimp Neocaridina, a dazzling variant of the popular Neocaridina family, boasts vibrant golden hues and striking back patterns. Known for their hardiness and captivating appearance, these shrimp are a delightful addition to freshwater aquariums.

Origin: Originating from selective breeding of Neocaridina shrimp species, the Gold Back variety showcases a stunning golden coloration against a contrasting dark backline, captivating aquarists worldwide.

Feeding: These shrimp are omnivores, relishing in a diet that includes algae, biofilm, blanched vegetables (like zucchini or spinach), and specialized shrimp pellets or food. Their diet is relatively easy to manage, contributing to their suitability for aquarists of various experience levels.

Tank Mates: Gold Back Shrimp are peaceful creatures, making them excellent tank mates for most non-aggressive fish and other shrimp species. Optimal tank mates include small, peaceful fish like rasboras, small tetras, and some species of dwarf shrimp. Avoid pairing them with larger or aggressive fish to ensure their safety.

Aggression: These shrimp are non-aggressive and tend to thrive in peaceful community tanks. They may exhibit minor territorial behavior among their own species, but it’s usually manageable in well-sized aquariums with ample hiding spots and vegetation.

Experience Level: Ideal for aquarists of varying experience levels, Gold Back Shrimp are hardy, relatively easy to care for, and adaptable to various water conditions. Basic understanding of water parameters and regular maintenance will ensure their thriving environment.
