Green Jade Shrimp for Sale
Searching for Green Jade Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) for sale? These beautiful green shrimp are a great choice for any shrimp tank as their distinctive green coloration makes them pop on any black substrate.
Do keep in mind that these high-grade Green Jade Shrimp will require a high-lighted (white light) tank and black substrate to showcase their green coloration. It is common for them to appear darker or even black when you first receive them, do not worry as they will soon color up if the tank has a dark colored substrate and is appropriately lit. We found that the color of these shrimp is a lot more finicky compared to other Neocaridinas. They will appear dark or even black on white substrate and might even turn darker in color if the lighting is insufficient.

Received the Green Jade Shrimp and they were healthy when delivered. After setting up a tank with black substrate and white lighting, they started to show green coloration within two weeks. Very patient but rewarding to watch them develop.

The shrimp arrived in a dark color, which was a bit surprising. Once I switched to black substrate and added proper lighting, they began to turn green. A bit finicky, but worth the effort for the vibrant appearance.

I followed the care instructions carefully. The shrimp are active and clean the tank well. Their green color is stunning under white light with black sand. Highly recommend for shrimp enthusiasts.
