About this shrimp

Shadow Black Rose Shrimp bring bold, dark color to your planted tank. They are especially easy to spot against light gravel or sand.

Is this right for me?

A choice for a tank that is already set up and cycled. Read the setup steps below before adding shrimp.

Getting your tank ready

Use an aquarium that has completed its cycle: helpful bacteria in the filter must be established to break down animal waste. A newly filled tank is not ready for animals just because the water looks clear. Keep water conditions steady and add plants or hiding places. Offer small portions of shrimp food alongside the tiny food particles they pick from surfaces, and remove leftovers.

Keeping it with other animals

Choose gentle fish and other animals carefully: fish may eat baby shrimp. Neocaridina is the group these colorful shrimp belong to. Different colors can breed together, so keep one color per tank if you want babies to keep that color.

What you get

Young adults approximately 1/2–3/4 inch; select the available pack size.

Water details explained

Reference values from the product information: temperature 68–74°F; pH (acidity) 7.0–7.2; GH (general water hardness) 7–8; KH (buffering capacity, which helps keep pH steady) 3–4; TDS (total dissolved solids, a measure of dissolved substances) 200–250. These describe reference water conditions, not every condition the shrimp can tolerate. Keep changes gradual.
