Yellow Goldenback Neocaridina Shrimp
These are my homebred Yellow Goldenback 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

High quality shrimp, well packaged, fast shipping. Not my first purchase from Daku and definitely won't be my last.
Daku Aquatics is truly one of the best around, a real pleasure to deal with. All shrimp and plants arrived in excellent condition! Will definitely continue purchasing from them.
Great overall experience. All the shrimp arrived healthy and have acclimated well to their new home. Definitely recommend, especially if you live in the state of Florida with the reduced shipping costs.
