Mixed Grade Starter Colony
Honest culls: washed or patchy colour, broken stripes, pale blues. Same health and breeding vigour as our graded stock. They simply did not meet the colour standard. A cheap way to start a colony.
Identity: maintained and sold as Neocaridina davidi. Trade line: mixed. The trade label and grade do not establish genotype, pedigree or genetic purity. Read our dated naming and identification standard, then see the selective-breeding evidence boundary.
Pricing
| Pack | Price | Each |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | $20 | $2 |
| 20 | $35 | $1.75 |
$40 minimum order. Live animals ship in insulated packaging that costs the same whether we send five shrimp or fifty, so small orders don't survive the math. Add plants or botanicals to reach the minimum.
What we bred them in
These readings let you prepare a receiving tank and compare the source water with your own. They do not predict survival or calculate a transfer time.
| GH | 6-8 |
|---|---|
| KH | 2-4 |
| TDS | 180-250 |
| pH | 7.0-7.6 |
| Temperature | 72-75°F |
Compare these with your own readings, then choose the receiving protocol for the bag type and transport history.
Not ready yet
This line is still growing out. Tell us where to reach you and we'll email you once, the day it goes on sale. Nothing else.
Done. We'll email you once, when this line is ready. You can reply to that email to get off the list.
Before this source joins a colony
Prepare a commissioned quarantine system with dedicated wet equipment. Quarantine separates contact networks; a fixed number of symptom-free days does not certify pathogen-free stock. Use the source record and release criteria.
Live arrival
We guarantee your shrimp arrive alive. Photograph the unopened bag within two hours of delivery and we'll refund or replace them. Read the full policy
We ship Monday-Wednesday only and hold orders when the forecast at either end goes below 35°F or above 90°F. This is our conservative house weather gate, not a measured bag-water or species-survival range.
