Green Jade Shrimp
Neocaridina davidi var. Green Jade
Green Jade Shrimp are one of the most highly sought-after and rarest color forms in the Neocaridina family. They boast an incredible earthy, deep emerald to jade-green coloration that acts as incredible natural camouflage in a heavily planted tank. Breeding a stable line of Green Jades is notoriously difficult, which is why they command a premium price in the Indian market. Our lineage has been carefully culled for generations to ensure consistent, solid green offspring. They prefer well-established tanks with stable parameters. Due to their color, they look best on light-colored sands or when contrasted against red aquatic plants, as they can sometimes blend in too well with green mosses!
