About

The Babaulti Mustard shrimp is an Indian Neocaridina variant displaying warm mustard-yellow to golden-olive colouration that stands out beautifully in planted aquariums. Less commonly available than Babaulti Green, it is prized for its unique warm-toned appearance. Shares the same care requirements as other Babaulti species.

Care Guide

Same care as Babaulti Green: neutral water, planted tank, group of 10+. Stable parameters are key to maintaining good colour. Feed varied diet of algae wafers, biofilm, blanched vegetables. Avoid copper and strong medications. Compatible with peaceful nano fish and other Neocaridina. Breed prolifically when comfortable.
