Description:
Scientific Name: Neocaridina. Davidi
Common Name: Green Jade Shrimp, Green Emerald Shrimp
Fully Grown Size: 1.6 inches (4cm)
Green Jade Shrimps are one of the newest Neocaridina to come out. Their cool color pops in lighter substrates. Their color ranges from light lime green to dark green. Although dark green is the highest grade for Green Jades, some people prefer a lighter green color so the green is most visible.
When Green Jades are stressed, not adjusted to the tank, or even just be fine can turn blue or have a blue hue. We advise to give them some time and they should revert back to green. This process doesn't happen in a day and should be given a few days to adjust its colors.
Green Jade comes from the Neocaridina Davidi Line and has been selectively bred to get its green color. Although there are multiple colors of neocaridina in the same line, it is not recommended to mix them to keep the genes to be the purist it can be. If you do however mix the colors, you will most likely end up with wild brown colored offsprings.
Green Jade like all neocaridinas are slightly harder to sex until they mature. Once they mature, the female will have a curved underbelly and the male will have a straight underbelly.
These are popular among the shrimp hobby and are great for people getting into the hobby. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon. Green Jades are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate. They make excellent clean up crews for aquascape tanks.
Green Jade are easy to care for as they require remineralized RO water or tap. If you are using tap, keep in mind to check for any harmful metals or chemicals in the water as all tap water is different and some aren't safe to use. When using fertilizer, make sure it does not contain copper as it is harmful to the shrimp’s health.
The shrimps you will receive will be sub adults to adults which translate to 1.5cm to 2.0cm.

I had ordered them some time in January they arrived February 14th I ended up losing 7 out of the 12 I got and when I tried to email I didn't get a response ☹️
I already had a small established colony of green jades that I had gotten from a local grower. I feel in love with their deep dark green color, almost looking black. I wanted to add more. All 10 of the great priced green jades that I received had the same exact coloring. They fit right in with my colony. The price is right and the quality is great. Billy Boi will probably be my go to for shrimp now.
So originally, when I received these shrimp, I was ecstatic about them, but as time grill on, I’ve noticed that more than 15 of a 20 I ordered were a lime to yellow coloration. Low-grade. I’ve got a few that are nice beautiful green but for the most part they’re that lime green color with a yellow stripe on the back. If you are buying these to breed, it’s a nightmare if you just want them to look nice in your tank, go for it.
Ordered 10, got 12, and 11/12 were very high grade. I’m super happy!
I bought 10 of the green jade shrimps and when they came in they were all alive. As inspected them I noticed many of them had the “white ring of death” on them. It worried me that they would not survive. But after 2 weeks many of them have been molting with ease and are very active and eating well. All 10 came alive and all 10 are still alive! Great buy, would definitely buy again from here!
