{"product_id":"green-jade-shrimp-neocaridina-davidi","title":"Green Jade Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreen Jade Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. \"Green Jade\") are highly popular, vibrant freshwater dwarf shrimp prized for their striking deep green to olive-colored bodies. Originating from selective breeding of wild Neocaridina lines in Taiwan, they double as an efficient clean-up crew by eating algae and organic debris while providing a vivid visual contrast against dark substrates and aquarium plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare and Water Parameters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile they possess the trademark hardiness of the Neocaridina family, high-grade Green Jade variants can be slightly more sensitive to poor water conditions and shifting parameters than common cherry shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature: 68–75°F (20–24°C) is ideal for stability, though they tolerate 64–82°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH Range: 6.8–7.5 ensures optimal shell health and reduces osmotic stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGH \/ KH: General Hardiness should sit between 6–8 dGH, and Carbonate Hardiness between 2–5 dKH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTDS: Maintain Total Dissolved Solids between 180–250 ppm for optimal molting cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet and Feeding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Jade Shrimp are active, non-aggressive omnivorous scavengers. They primarily feed on naturally growing biofilm and algae within an established aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplemental feeding keeps their colors rich and supports shell development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-protein sinking patties formulated with real sword prawns and mulberry leaves to naturally boost growth, breeding vitality, and deep green pigmentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreeding and Culling Challenges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Jades breed easily in a mature home aquarium provided they are safe from predators and fed a stable diet. However, they are widely considered one of the most difficult Neocaridina color lines to maintain cleanly over generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Chocolate\" Heritage: Because they descend from the highly diverse chocolate shrimp line, their genetics throw inconsistent offspring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCulling: Regular culling (removing off-color individuals) is mandatory. Offspring frequently shift toward undesirable translucent yellow, brown, or light blue shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Substrates: Keeping your colony over a dark gravel or aqua-soil substrate will visually deepen and intensify their natural emerald and jade pigmentation over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53417259172137,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4325\/2521\/files\/Untitled-design_20260810_181506_0000.png?v=1786371323","url":"https:\/\/jasminaquaticsstore.com\/ar\/products\/green-jade-shrimp-neocaridina-davidi","provider":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
