Quick Facts:

  • Scientific Name: Neocaridina davidi
  • Common Names: 24K Yellow Shrimp, Yellow Golden Back Shrimp
  • Origin: Taiwan, China
  • Size: 2.5–3.5 cm
  • Lifespan: 1–2 years
  • Temperament: Peaceful, social
  • Difficulty Level: Easy

Tank Requirements

  • Tank Size: 10+ litres (best in 20+ litres for stability)
  • Temperature: 18–26°C
  • pH Range: 6.5–7.8
  • Water Hardness: 4–12 dGH
  • Filtration: Sponge filters or gentle-flow filters work best.
  • Substrate & Decorations:
    • Dark-colored substrate enhances their yellow coloration.
    • Live plants like Java Moss, Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Vallisneria provide cover and biofilm.
    • Driftwood and cholla wood help grow beneficial biofilm.

Behavior & Tank Mates

  • Very active, constantly grazing on surfaces.
  • Best kept in groups of 5+ for natural behavior.
  • Compatible Tank Mates:
    • Peaceful nano fish like Ember Tetras, Chili Rasboras, Celestial Pearl Danios.
    • Other dwarf shrimp (Blue Dream, Cherry Shrimp, Amano Shrimp).
    • Snails (Nerite Snails, Mystery Snails).
  • Avoid aggressive fish like bettas, cichlids, and large barbs.

Diet

Neocaridina shrimp are omnivores, feeding on biofilm, algae, and commercial shrimp food:

  • Algae & Biofilm (natural diet).
  • Blanched Vegetables (zucchini, spinach, cucumber).
  • Shrimp Pellets & Algae Wafers (high-quality brands recommended).
  • Protein Treats (bloodworms, baby brine shrimp, occasionally).
  • Calcium Supplements (for healthy molting and shell strength).

Breeding

  • Very easy in freshwater!
  • Females carry eggs (“berried”) under their abdomen for ~30 days.
  • Baby shrimp (1 mm in size) are fully formed and feed on biofilm.
  • Best breeding setup:
    • Gentle filtration (sponge filter preferred).
    • Plenty of moss and hiding spots for baby shrimp.
    • No fish that may prey on newborn shrimp.

Care Tips

✔ Keep water parameters stable to avoid stress.
✔ Regular water changes (10–20% weekly).
✔ Avoid copper-based medications (toxic to shrimp).
✔ Provide a natural grazing environment (plants, moss, driftwood).
