The perfect shrimp mega package for the novice!
Receive everything you need to keep and breed tiny Dwarf Shrimp.
Choose from the available Neocaridina Shrimp varieties, and you'll receive the following:
- 10X Shrimp of your color choice

- 10x 1cm Clay and Tourmaline mineral balls
- 10x Alder cones
- 6 grams of our Colony Shrimp Grower powdered food

- 1x Telescoping Nano Shrimp net

The foods included will sustain your new shrimp colony for several months in aquariums under ten gallons.
Neocaridina are among the hardiest Dwarf shrimp species; nevertheless, you should take great care to cycle your tank well, and avoid ammonia and nitrate/nitrite spikes. Heavily planting your tank will help with this!
