These are my homebred Red Cherry Neocaridina Shrimp!
In an effort to keep shrimp shipping as safe as possible, I am not currently listing shrimp for sale directly on the website. If you’re in an area with nighttime lows consistently above 50°F, email your zip code and which shrimp you want to info@dakuaquatics.com and I will check weather, shipping, and get back to you within 24 hours!
I only ship fully colored up juvies and sub-adult shrimp as they do much better in shipping and acclimating to your new tank in comparison to adult shrimp!
My Neocaridina breeding tank parameters are:
Temp 73 - 78 | PH 7.0 - 7.5 | TDS 250-300 | GH 8-12 | KH 3-5
