Scientific Name: Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis var. white
Common Name: Snowball Shrimp, White Pearl Shrimp
Size: males ~2cm, females ~2.5-3.5cm
Temperature: 68-86°F / 20-30°C, but can tolerate as low as 41°F / 5°C and as high as 90°F / 32°C. Ideal temp. ~23°C
Water Parameters: As with Red Cherry Shrimp, pH 6-8 from soft to very hard water. Ideal conditions are soft-medium hardnes with an alkaline pH
Food: Algae, fish foods, vegetables and some fruits. Occassional rabbit pellets and rice acceptable. Does not eat plants
Origin: Originally bred from the wild form Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis in Germany
