-Orange Sunkist Shrimp, also known as Orange Sakura Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. "Orange"), are highly sought-after freshwater shrimp admired for their captivating orange hue. Here's all the essential information for successfully keeping a group of Orange Sunkist Shrimp:

Appearance:

  • Vibrant Orange Color: Orange Sunkist Shrimp showcase a vibrant and intense orange color throughout their bodies, creating a striking contrast against plants and substrate in the aquarium.
  • Small Size: With an average size of 1-1.5cm, these shrimp are small and compact, making them a perfect addition to nano or shrimp-only tanks.

Water Conditions:

  • Temperature: Maintain the water temperature between 20°C and 26°C (68°F-78°F) to provide optimal conditions for Orange Sunkist Shrimp.
  • pH Level: Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 to replicate their natural habitat.
  • Water Hardness: Orange Sunkist Shrimp can adapt to a wide range of water hardness, but a moderate hardness level of 6 to 10 dH is ideal.
  • Filtration: Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential to maintain excellent water quality and the overall health of your shrimp.

Tank Setup:

  • Tank Size: A tank with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons is suitable for a group of five Orange Sunkist Shrimp. Provide hiding spots with live plants, driftwood, and rock structures to create a natural and stimulating environment for the shrimp.
  • Substrate: Use a fine-grained substrate, such as sand or small-grain gravel, which allows the Orange Sunkist Shrimp to forage and explore comfortably.

Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful Community Fish: Orange Sunkist Shrimp are peaceful and can coexist with other small, non-aggressive fish species that do not prey on or harass them.
  • Shrimp Compatibility: Keep Orange Sunkist Shrimp in a shrimp-only tank or with other compatible shrimp species to ensure their well-being.

Feeding Habit:

  • Algae and Biofilm Grazers: Orange Sunkist Shrimp are excellent grazers and will eagerly consume algae and biofilm that naturally develop in the tank. Supplement their diet with high-quality shrimp pellets or flakes, blanched vegetables such as spinach or zucchini, and occasional small amounts of frozen or live foods like daphnia or brine shrimp.
