Description
Care & Maintenance:
- Water Parameters – To thrive, Electric Yellow Shrimp require well-maintained freshwater conditions:
- Temperature: 64° – 78° F (17.8° – 25.5° C)
- pH: 6.8 – 7.5
- dGH: 6 – 15
- dKH: 0 – 10
- TDS: 180 – 400
- Minimum Tank Size: 2 gallons (recommended 10 gallons for a colony)
- Tank Setup – These shrimp will reach their full color potential when kept in a tank with low-intensity lighting and dark substrate. The environment should contain algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter for them to feed on.
Diet:
Electric Yellow Shrimp are natural scavengers, continuously foraging in your tank. In a well-established aquarium, they need very little additional feeding. However, if your tank is still maturing, you can supplement their diet with high-quality dry foods containing plant material, feeding them multiple times daily.
