PUMPKIN SHRIMP

The Pumpkin Neocaridina shrimp, a color morph of the popular Neocaridina davidi, is valued for its vibrant orange coloration that resembles a pumpkin. These shrimp are hardy, adaptable, and relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Here’s a detailed guide to caring for Pumpkin Neocaridina shrimp: Tank Setup Tank Size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended. While smaller tanks can be used, larger tanks provide more stable water conditions and more space for the shrimp to thrive. Tank Environment: Substrate: Use a fine gravel or sand substrate. Shrimp like to forage on the substrate, so a smooth, non-abrasive surface is ideal. Soil substrates can also be used if they are pH-neutral and do not significantly alter water parameters. Plants and Decor: Include live plants, such as Java Moss, Anubias, or other low-maintenance species. Plants not only provide hiding spots but also help with water quality by absorbing excess nut
