Shrimp Keeping Doesn't Need to Be Complicated

Conflicting advice online can make even simple questions feel confusing. The Neocaridina Shrimp Handbook gives you clear, practical answers in one place — so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying your shrimp.

Build a Tank Where Shrimp Thrive

Set up the substrate, filtration, lighting, heating and environment your shrimp need to give your colony the best possible start.

Know Exactly What to Feed

Learn what to feed, how often to feed and how much — without constantly worrying about overfeeding or underfeeding.

Stop Guessing at Water Parameters

Understand the water conditions Neocaridina need and, more importantly, how to keep those conditions stable.

Choose Plants That Actually Help

Discover the plants and mosses that provide cover, grazing surfaces and a better environment for your shrimp.

Choose Tank Mates With Confidence

Understand which animals may work alongside Neocaridina — and which are better avoided if you want your shrimp colony to thrive.

Spot Problems Before They Become Disasters

Recognise common pests, diseases and warning signs and understand what to do when something in your shrimp tank doesn't look right.
