{"product_id":"blue-diamond-shrimp-neocaridina-davidi","title":"Blue Diamond Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue Diamond Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are high-grade, freshwater dwarf shrimp highly prized for their intense, opaque, deep blue to nearly black coloration. Unlike Blue Dream shrimp—which originate from the red rili line—Blue Diamonds are selectively bred from the chocolate shrimp lineage. This distinct genetic background makes them highly stable, meaning they produce far fewer \"culls\" (off-color offspring) and retain their stunning dark jewel tones across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal Tank Parameters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Diamonds are hardy and beginner-friendly, but they thrive best in stable, fully cycled water with a bit of hardness to support healthy molting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature: 68°F – 78°F (20°C – 26°C)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH: 6.5 – 7.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003egH (General Hardness): 6 – 12 (at least 8 is ideal for structural health)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ekH (Carbonate Hardness): 0 – 10TDS: 180 – 350 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Quality: Strictly 0 ppm Ammonia, 0 ppm Nitrite, and Nitrates below 25 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet and Maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary Food: They are excellent scavengers that constantly graze on natural biofilm and algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplements: Supplement their diet 2–3 times a week with high-quality shrimp pellets, spirulina, or blanched vegetables like zucchini and spinach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Changes: Perform small, weekly water changes of 10% to 20% to avoid shocking the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety Warning: Never use copper-based medications or fertilizers in their tank, as copper is highly toxic to all invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank Mates and Breeding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Neighbors: Keep them with peaceful, micro-fish like Otocinclus, Pygmy Corydoras, or Ember Tetras. Avoid any fish large enough to fit a shrimp into its mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy Breeding: In stable conditions, they breed naturally. Females carry eggs for about 30 days before releasing fully formed, miniature shrimplets. Provide live mosses (like Java Moss) to give newborns safety and plenty of surface biofilm to eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenetic Purity: Do not house them with other Neocaridina colors (like Red Cherries or Yellow Enes) if you want to keep the line pure; cross-breeding will cause future generations to revert to a muddy, wild brown color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53417064661289,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4325\/2521\/files\/Untitled-design_20260810_165531_0000.png?v=1786366651","url":"https:\/\/jasminaquaticsstore.com\/products\/blue-diamond-shrimp-neocaridina-davidi","provider":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
