These are freshwater shrimp and can live in almost any freshwater aquarium due to their extremely adaptable nature. They are very popular for planted tanks and community tanks, and many people use them in large aquariums for waste management and algae control. They breed very quickly, forming a colony that works as a very effective cleaning crew and enhances any aquarium with its beautiful, sunny color.

Recommended Tank Parameters

• pH level range: 6.4 to 8.0, ideal range: 6.8 to 7.5
• Temperature range: 65° to 80° F
• Water type: kH 0-10; gH 4-14; TDS 80-200

We have kept Sakura Yellow Shrimp in a wide array of water parameters with great success. Though they are extremely adaptable and will thrive in a PH of 6.4 to 8, we have found that the optimum pH is between 6.8 and 7.5. Water temperature can be anywhere from 68° to 80° (Fahrenheit), but the fastest breeding occurs at about 76° F.  If you plan to breed the shrimp, you will NEED to have a sponge prefilter on your filter intake to prevent the shrimp from being sucked in.
