An inert substrate works well, and darker substrates can make their orange coloration stand out particularly well. Sponge filtration or a protected filter intake is recommended for breeding colonies because newly hatched shrimplets are extremely small. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Caridina shrimp we just finished adding, Orange Neocaridina \u003cstrong\u003edo not normally require active buffering substrate or specialized soft acidic water\u003c\/strong\u003e.
