Acclimation
Introduce new shrimp gradually. Avoid suddenly moving them between water with very different temperature or mineral levels.
SHRIMP CARE
Keep things stable
Neocaridina are hardy shrimp, but they do best when changes in temperature and water chemistry are gradual.

Stable water
Consistency matters more than chasing a perfect number. Avoid large, sudden changes in GH, KH, pH or temperature.
Feeding
Feed small amounts and allow shrimp to graze naturally on biofilm and surfaces in a mature aquarium. Remove excess food rather than letting it spoil.
Moulting
Shrimp regularly shed their old shell as they grow. A stable mineral balance helps support normal moulting.
Water changes
Match replacement water reasonably closely to the aquarium and avoid rapid changes. Regular testing helps you understand how your own tank behaves.
After collection or delivery
It is normal for shrimp to hide while settling in. Give them cover, keep the aquarium stable and avoid overfeeding while they adjust.
