Long description:
Green Jade Shrimp are a selectively bred color morph of Neocaridina shrimp known for their soft to deep green body coloration. They constantly graze on algae and biofilm, helping to maintain tank cleanliness. A planted aquarium with moss and hiding spaces helps them feel secure and encourages breeding. They are well suited to peaceful community tanks and thrive in stable, mature aquariums with consistent water parameters.
