These are my homebred multi-color "Skittle" Neocaridina shrimp!
I breed all the solid colors of Neocaridina as well as carbon rili, so you can expect a nice mix of different color shrimp!
I only ship fully colored up juvies and sub-adult shrimp as they do much better in shipping and acclimating to your new tank.
This is a vibrant and colorful assortment of my homebred Neocaridina shrimp. Perfect for aquarists who love diversity, this mix provides an ever-changing visual display while also serving as an excellent clean-up crew. Hardy and easy to care for, Neocaridina shrimp are a great choice for both beginners and experienced shrimp keepers looking to add a burst of color to their aquarium.

All 12 arrived alive and in good condition. I had a few questions and Daku was quick to respond and very helpful. 10/10. Will definitely be a repeat customer!
Shipping was prompt and shrimp were packed well. I didn't have one DOA and they are all still doing wonderfully 2 weeks later. Highly recommend this seller.
These shrimp are awesome! I have never had shrimp before (fish, yes, but never shrimp). So, they seemed very tiny and brown when I got them ha ha because I had no idea what a stressed out from being in the mail juvenile shrimp looked like. But, man! As soon as we got them in the tank, they immediately colored up. They are all very healthy. Every single shrimp we bought from Daku not only lived, but thrived. They are large, breeding, and colorful! We also had a weird color request for a shrimp that was honored by this story. Great communication with the owner/seller!
We are having so much fun with our little shrimp colony and would and have bought more from Daku.
I ordered 10+2 Red Neocaridina shrimp. The shrimp arrived promptly. I was surprised to find that they were all juveniles—quite small. However, after some thought, I agreed with the reasoning behind sending young shrimp: they acclimate more easily than adults.
I followed the detailed acclimation instructions provided with the order, and I’m happy to report that every shrimp made it without issue.
It’s been over a month now, and they are growing quickly, staying super active, and scavenging all day. This has been a very positive experience overall. I think the best review I can give is that I would definitely purchase from Daku Aquatics again. Thank you!
