Care Notes

Bloody Mary OE | Red OE Neocaridina shrimp are adaptable freshwater shrimp that perform best in a mature, fully cycled aquarium with stable water conditions. Neocaridina davidi generally tolerates a broader range of water chemistry than specialised Caridina varieties, making this line more accessible when appropriate mineral content and stable parameters are maintained. Provide established biofilm, plants, mosses and other grazing surfaces alongside a balanced shrimp diet. Avoid sudden parameter changes and maintain sufficient calcium and magnesium to support healthy moulting and long-term colony development.
