Special requirements
Copper Sensitivity
Like all Neocaridina, they are highly sensitive to copper. Ensure all medications and fertilizers are confirmed to be shrimp-safe.
Predator Avoidance
Do not house with loaches, puffers, or larger carnivorous fish that may prey on small invertebrates.
Breeding Safety
If breeding, a sponge filter is required to prevent the miniature young shrimp from being trapped in the filtration intake.
