Familie: Atyidae
Gelbe (Goldene) Garnele: eine zitronengelbe Zuchtform der Neocaridina davidi, um 2005 aus Taiwan-Linien fixiert. 2-2,5 cm, pflegeleicht bei 18-26 °C, züchtet im Süßwasser.
Yellow Shrimp, often sold as Golden Shrimp, is a sunny lemon-yellow morph of Neocaridina davidi developed from yellow-gene sports that appeared in Taiwan breeder lines around 2005 and were then fixed into a stable, uniformly yellow strain. Unlike the red and orange forms, yellow individuals keep a clean color with little wild-type banding even in lower grades, because the yellow pigment masks the underlying pattern. It grows to 2-2.5 cm and shows exactly the same easy disposition as every other N. davidi morph: 18-26 °C, pH 6.5-8.0, moderate hardness, and a strong appetite for algae and biofilm. It is a lively, visible daytime grazer that stands out beautifully against dark substrate and green moss. Breeding is straightforward in freshwater — females carry a modest clutch of 15-25 eggs and the fry appear as tiny replicas of the parents. Keep a single color per tank, since all N. davidi morphs hybridize freely and mixed colonies lose their color within a few generations.
Pflegeleicht. Extremely peaceful; Groups of 10 or more.
Halte das Wasser bei 18–26 °C. 18–26 °C stable range. Stable 18–26 °C; very tolerant of water chemistry.
Wird 2–2.5 cm; lebt bottom — grazing plants and hardscape. Mindestens 20 L.
Algae and biofilm grazer; color foods keep hues intense. Zwei kleine Portionen täglich.
Ja, mit Bedacht. Extremely peaceful — vergesellschafte es mit Other Neocaridina davidi morphs — Interbreed — one color per tank, Small tetras, rasboras and danios — Ignore adults; moss protects shrimplets, Otocinclus catfish — Ideal calm algae-eating partner. Halte Copper-based medications — Lethal to all invertebrates, Large predatory fish — Cichlids and big gouramis eat shrimp, Other N. davidi colors — Cross-breeding erodes the yellow line fern.
Sein natürlicher Lebensraum liegt in Selective-bred form of the East Asian Neocaridina, in any stable freshwater community aquarium.
In der Zucht: breeds readily in pure freshwater. After a molt the female releases pheromones, mates, then carries 15-25 yellow-green eggs for about three weeks. Hatchlings are miniature adults; a mature moss-filled tank yields a steady supply of juveniles.. Females are larger and deeper-bodied with a visible yellow saddle; males are smaller, slimmer and paler lemon..
