JINSHA SHRIMP

The sunny colored Jinsha shrimp (Neocaridina davidi "Jinsha") is a beautiful and still very new breeding form of the Chinese backstroke shrimp or algae shrimp Neocaridina davidi. The shrimp are intensely orange-yellow and have a beautiful, bright, broadly extended dorsal stripe. Originally the wild form of Neocaridina davidi lives on the island of Taiwan, however the Jinsha shrimp was bred in Taiwan in the breeding facility of the famous shrimp breeder Leon Su aka Sky Fish, and has the well-known extremely high color density and pattern quality.

Neocaridina davidi are adaptable, robust dwarf shrimp that can be found in nature in a variety of biotopes. They live in very different water values from hard water to soft water, in flowing waters and also in ponds and lakes with stagnant water, which is however always very rich in humic substances.

Despite its illustrious origin, the robust Neocaridina davidi "Jinsha" is a dwarf shrimp best suited for beginners. It inherited its tolerance to soft to hard water from its wild ancestors. The Jinsha shrimp is a very young color form and does not yet inherit its pattern 100%, therefore the offspring should be selectively bred to consolidate the great color and beautiful pattern further
