Green Jade Shrimp

You will receive Green Jade shrimp that are either bred by us or that have been treated and observed for over 30 days. The green jade shrimp will have a range of green coloration due to their diverse family tree. The shrimp will be healthy and near breeding age. 

Green jades come from the chocolate shrimp family tree which leads to a lot of selective breeding. The chocolate shrimp family is the most diverse shrimp family tree in the Neocaridina genus. Since Green jades are bred from chocolate shrimp, they will produce a multitude of colors and grades. Therefore, selective breeding will need to be done to maintain the fantastic green color.

The care of green jade shrimp is typical of the Neocaridina genus. They breed regularly in our standard Neocaridina water parameter. We suggest keeping them on the light substrate or else they will completely blend into the substrate making it hard to see them. We suggest using pool filter sand as it is what we use in the majority of our breeding tanks with great success.
