Whether you're starting a shrimp colony or adding more colour to an established planted aquarium, the Skittles Pack is a fun and exciting way to expand your shrimp collection.
Neocaridina shrimp are peaceful, active grazers that spend their time exploring aquarium plants, mosses, rocks, and driftwood in search of biofilm and microorganisms.
Your Skittles Pack may contain any combination of the following Neocaridina varieties from our collection:
Neocaridina shrimp are adaptable freshwater invertebrates, making them a popular choice for beginner and experienced shrimp keepers. However, stable water parameters and a mature, fully cycled aquarium are essential for their long-term health.

Recommended parameters are general guidelines for Neocaridina shrimp. Maintaining consistent water chemistry is more important than chasing exact numbers.
The Skittles Pack is best suited to an established freshwater aquarium with stable water conditions, gentle filtration, and plenty of natural surfaces for grazing.
Neocaridina shrimp naturally graze on biofilm, microorganisms, and soft algae found throughout established aquariums.
Supplement their diet with high-quality shrimp food, occasional protein-rich supplements, and suitable botanical materials. A varied diet helps support healthy growth, moulting, and reproduction.
Feed sparingly and remove uneaten food when necessary to maintain good water quality.
Proper acclimation is important when introducing freshwater shrimp to a new aquarium, especially when the shipping water differs from your aquarium's water chemistry.
Prolonged exposure to opened shipping water may be harmful if ammonia has accumulated during transit. Follow the acclimation instructions supplied with your order and adjust your approach based on shipping conditions.
Neocaridina shrimp can reproduce entirely in freshwater when maintained in suitable conditions. Females carry fertilized eggs beneath their abdomen until the young hatch as miniature shrimp.
Because the Skittles Pack contains a mixture of selectively bred colour varieties, the shrimp may interbreed and produce offspring with unpredictable colours and patterns.
Over multiple generations, mixed-colour colonies may produce increasing numbers of brown, translucent, or wild-type shrimp rather than consistently retaining the bright colours of their parents.
Each Skittles Pack contains 10 live Neocaridina shrimp, carefully selected from our available assortment.
