Sunkist Shrimp – PASS Aquatics
Like their cherry shrimp cousins, yellow shrimp are very adaptive and can survive in a wide range of water values and temperatures. As long as the water is conditioned, ammonia and nitrite are always at zero and nitrites aren’t too high your tap water should usually be fine. Be sure to do regular water tests using a liquid test kit to make sure everything is still in order and perform regular water changes.

The Sunkist Shrimp are active and colorful. I’ve kept them in a 10-gallon tank with stable water parameters. They adapt well to my setup and don’t seem stressed. I do weekly water tests and change 20% of the water every two weeks. They’re a great addition to my aquarium.

These shrimp are hardy and easy to maintain. I noticed they’re more active in warmer water. I keep the tank at 75°F and use a liquid test kit every month. The water parameters stay within the recommended range, and they’ve been thriving for over six months.

I added a few Sunkist Shrimp to my community tank. They don’t compete with fish and are peaceful. The water conditions are stable, and I’ve not had any issues with ammonia or nitrite. They look vibrant and stay active throughout the day.
