About Gut Rescue
Gut Rescue is a concentrated treatment for internal protozoan infections in freshwater and saltwater ornamental fish. It is recommended for Hexamita, Spironucleus, hole-in-the-head disease, weight loss, reduced appetite and white or stringy waste.
Gut Rescue can be administered through medicated food when fish are eating or added directly to the aquarium when fish refuse food.

A few good questions.
For a first Neocaridina colony, a group of 10–20 shrimp in an established 10-gallon aquarium is a practical starting point. The right number depends on your tank's filtration, available food, and other inhabitants. Start small and leave room for your colony to grow.
Neocaridina varieties, including Cherry Red and Blue Dream, are a great introduction to shrimp keeping. The key is a fully cycled aquarium and stable water conditions—sudden changes can stress shrimp. Some other varieties need more specific care, so check their requirements before choosing.
Neocaridina spend much of their day grazing on algae and biofilm—the natural coating that develops on aquarium surfaces. Supplement this with quality shrimp food, occasional algae wafers, and small portions of blanched vegetables such as zucchini. A varied diet helps support growth and healthy molting.
Not always. A small colony in a mature tank may only need supplemental food every other day, while a larger colony may need small daily portions. Watch how quickly they eat, adjust accordingly, and remove leftover pellets or vegetables after a few hours to protect water quality.
Neocaridina shrimp typically live around one to two years, though lifespan varies with temperature, water quality, and overall care. A stable aquarium, suitable food, and consistent maintenance give them a strong foundation for a healthy life.
