Golden Line Neocaradina Davidi (Free Java Moss) Live Shrimp ALGAE EATER (5 pack)


Neocaridina davidi is a freshwater shrimp originating from eastern China and northern Taiwan and introduced in the rest of Taiwan, Japan, and Hawaii, which is commonly kept in aquaria. The natural coloration of the shrimp is green-brown, though a wide variety of color morphs exist, including red, yellow, orange, green, blue, violet and black shrimp. Full-grown shrimp reach about 4 centimetres (1.6 in) long. N. davidi shrimp are omnivores that may live 1–2 years. These shrimps have previously been classified as Neocaridina heteropoda and Neocaridina denticulata sinensis, however are now known as Neocaridina davidi which is based on the oldest known published description of the species.


Diet


N. davidi shrimp are primarily biofilm eaters. N. davidi are omnivorous, which means they eat both plant and animal-based foods. They require a balanced diet to maintain optimal health and growth


Sexing

Neocaridina davidi have noticeable sexual dimorphism. The male is smaller and usually less colorful than the female. The male's tail, not being needed to carry eggs, is narrower. The female is larger and usually displays a richer, more opaque coloration, however selective breeding can produce males with similar quality of coloration. On the upper section of the female's body, on the "shoulder", the developing eggs on the ovaries may be seen in more transparent individuals. The color of these eggs will depend on the breed of individual shrimp. The shape of the ovaries drapes across both sides of the shrimp, giving rise to the nickname "saddle". The presence of a "saddle" indicates a female that is likely ready to mate
