Mixed Culled Shrimp
Mixed Culled Shrimp are a mixture of all the shrimp from our lines that we feel might make our lines impure. They are also part of the Neocaridina Family. They are sold individually. The picture is to show the variety that is usually available.
*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client – we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY RECEIVING ONLY MALES OR ONLY FEMALES OR JUVENILE Shrimp.
Feeding Culled Shrimp:
Firstly, we advise feeding Mixed Culled Shrimp an all in one food like Shrimp King Complete. In addition to Shrimp King Complete, you can get some Bacter AE that you feed 2-3 times a week. In addition, GlasGarten – Mineral Junkie is a fantastic mineral supplement to feed once a week. On top of that, any shrimp snack or treat will work great. Secondly, if you have 80 or more shrimp in your tank, Shirakura – Ebi Dama is a great food that does spread with water movement, but rather stays in one peace as you feed.
Other Recommendations:
As a result, a feeding dish is also recommended when feeding any food that breaks apart in the water.
Sexing Shrimp:
Sexing Mixed Culled Shrimp is quite simple, you can check out this YouTube video on how to sex shrimp.
Our parameters of the Shrimp:
| PH: | 7.0 – 7.5 |
| KH: | 1 – 4 |
| GH: | 6 – 8 |
| TDS: | 180 – 250 |
| Temp: |
21 – 23 degrees Celsius |
Acclimating Shrimp:
For instance, if the shrimp has been in transit for:
- < 48 hours we recommend slowly acclimating shrimp with the “drip method”.
- 3+ days, we recommend floating the bag for 15 minutes. Subsequently, “pour” the shrimp into a fish net over a bucket. Therefore, you can catch all the shrimp in the net and let the water collect in the bucket. Further, you can add the shrimp to your tank.
In conclusion, check out our video on how to breed shrimp:
McMerwe’s Comment: Mixed Culled Shrimp are healthy shrimp that might not meet our grading standards however their mixed colouration makes for an interesting shrimp tank. A good beginner shrimp. It should be noted that housing different neocaridina variants together will eventually lead to them to breeding back to their natural brownish colour [Rating 4/5]

Excellent quality. They all arrived healthy and alive. I even got one extra! I highly recommend these little odd balls. They are colourful and lots of fun to watch scurrying around the tank. Top class service too!

I have bought these for a second time now they are definitely good quality and I wouldn’t call them culled but it just shows you the standards are high at McMerwe, they are great for starting a new shrimp tank.

Was amazed by how quick, professional and transparent the shipping was. Jacques kept us in the loop of the order status all the time. The shrimps are really amazing and if this is considered as unwanted shrimp I can only imagine the quality of the wanted stock. Well done McMerwe farms. Try their service you will not be disappointed.

Bought 10 of these in January 2019 to test if my shrimp tank will work and if I could actually keep them alive, when they arrived I couldn’t believe these where culled shrimp anyway I even got them to breed so now I can move up to one specie per tank.

I recently bought some culled shrimp from McMerwe for one of my two dedicated shrimp tanks and was totally impressed by the level of service as well as the quality of the shrimp I received.
I didn’t want to buy expensive shrimps to start out with because of fear of accidently killing them, thanks McMerve for making that possible.
