Yellow King Kong Shrimp

Scientific Name: Caridina cf. cantonensis
Common Name: Yellow King Kong
Fully Grown Size: 1.2 inches

Yellow King Kong are one of the most easiest shrimp to breed. They are sometimes mistaken for Yellow Neocaridina because of their yellow body. These makes perfect for having yellow shrimps in low ph water instead of trying to acclimate Yellow Neocaridinas.

Yellow King Kong are bred from Tangerine Tigers until the tiger pattern is gone leaving the shrimp with only its solid yellow color.

A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon. Yellow King Kongs are peaceful and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate.

Yellow King Kongs are easy to care for as they require remineralized RO water. 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 juvies to sub adults which translate into 0.47 to 0.60 inches (1.2cm to 1.5cm).
