What to know before you buy.
A less common pattern variation, these Neocaridina shrimp exhibit distinct horizontal or vertical stripes over their base color. This trait is not consistently bred and can be rare to find. Their care requirements remain the same as other standard Neocaridina species.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Striped Shrimp Morph healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Add it only to a fully cycled, mature tank: invertebrates tolerate ammonia and nitrite far worse than fish. Moss, leaf litter and established biofilm give shrimp grazing and cover, especially after a moult.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–8 and 18–28°C. Never use copper: most fish medications and some plant fertilisers contain it and it kills invertebrates. Drip-acclimate over at least an hour.
Feeding
Omnivore. Remove uneaten food within a few hours so it doesn't foul the water.
Behaviour
It hides after moulting while the new shell hardens: leave the old shell in the tank, it eats it back for minerals.
Tankmates
Many fish eat shrimp, especially babies. Keep it with small, peaceful fish, or on its own.
Breeding
Striped Shrimp Morph breeds readily in a stable, predator-free tank.
Keeping shrimp?
Shrimp forgive less than fish do — stable hardness and clean water are the whole game.
