The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Opaeula are magic, but neocaridina are the queen of shrimp tanks. Easy to keep, easy to breed, supports a wide range of parameters. I have four tanks with different neocaridina varieties. Let's start with blue ones:

Oh wow! Those are great photos my friend, i do love neos too and have a few cherrys in my tropical tank.

Yeah Odin, neocaridina are lovely.

Let's follow with shrimp's rainbow. Black variety:






It's funny to cross different varieties and await the colour breeds. Like surprise box. I did it whit blue/black. Pics in the next post.

Crossing different neocaridina varieties loses coloration in the next generation. But you also get some curious individuals. Like this ones, mixed blue/black/brown:

lovely specimens, how many tanks do you have with freshwater shrimps in @Bat

Now I keep three neocaridina tanks, another one cold freshwater with atyaephyra desmarestii. And one opaeula brackish, of course.

Red neocaridina, colourful and easy to breed.

Like all shrimps they are scavengers. Eating dead bicirrhis:

They have a really nice red glow to them, the substrate helps bring out their natural colour too.

Yellow neon

I've noticed some neos have the light stripe down their backs, i have some on my red cherrys but im not 100% sure where it comes from as its not on all of them.
