Mix Grade Neos Multiple Varieties
All shrimp need culling. Many times they produce undesireable patterns or color. Sometimes they produce really unique patterns.
Due to space, I'll reset a tank from time to time and keep the best and sell the rest.
Take a look at the pics these will vary in size. Juvenile to adult. If they are really small I'll usually add a few more to make up for it.
If you are looking for variety this is the way to go.
Videos are taken within the first week of Feb 2025 to give you a good idea on what the quality is.
Imported
Imported shrimp often get a bad reputation. They’re typically more affordable than homebred shrimp, but the journey is long and stressful—many shipments travel from outdoor farms in Asia to wholesalers in California, and then across the country. During this process, shrimp face extreme changes in water conditions, handling, and transport, which can lead to high stress and losses.
In the aquarium trade, it’s common for wholesalers and local fish stores to move imports quickly, selling them to customers within days of arrival. This means hobbyists are often left to deal with the stress, losses, and acclimation challenges that come with freshly imported animals. Essentially, the risk is passed on to the customer.
At Aqua Atomic, we do things differently. All imports are quarantined for at least 3 weeks before being offered for sale. The majority of issues happen in the first 10 days, and by holding them longer, we absorb that risk ourselves—so you don’t have to. The result is healthier, better-acclimated shrimp at a fraction of the cost of homebred stock.
Homebred
Homebred shrimp are usually 2 or more generations removed from imports. Hobbyists carefully manage their colonies through culling and selective breeding to maintain strong coloration and stable traits. While imports often arrive with excellent coloration, homebred shrimp are valued for their long-term stability and adaptability to local water parameters.

Neocaridina can tolerate a wide range of water parameters, in our case we can use Omaha NE tap water.

Reviews
I bought yellows, blue rillis, orange, and green jade a couple of months ago. They were healthy and active. I placed them in a 20g long to have somewhat of a Skittles community. They have been prolific breeders and I now have juveniles and babies growing up. The colors are pretty intense for being mixed grade/culls. Very happy with my shrimpies!
