Purple Metallic Nanacy Tiger shrimp are a stunning and rare variety of Caridina that bring bold, iridescent color to any freshwater shrimp setup. Known for their vibrant metallic purple hues and distinctive tiger-striped pattern on the tail, these shrimp shimmer under aquarium lighting and truly stand out among other species. Their coloration can range from a rich, velvety purple to a brighter, more reflective sheen depending on age, lighting, and genetics. Each shrimp is unique—some may show cleaner, more defined stripes, while others display a smoky metallic gradient across their body.
Whether you’re a hobbyist looking to diversify your Caridina collection or a breeder seeking standout genetics, Purple Metallic Nanacy Tigers offer a beautiful and eye-catching addition to a well-maintained shrimp tank.

Great quality shrimp! Beautiful colors, shipped fast, packaged well.
These shrimp are INCREDIBLE! They are absolutely stunning in color/pattern and they are very active. I love watching them glide around and munch on algea and food. This is a really rare breed of neocaridinas, so the price is fantastic.
Arrived alive and well. Great looking shrimp, active, and doing great!!
These little purple guys are something else. They look black but once they get a little light on them, you see that awesome purple metallic pops out. These have easily become my favorites!
They're one of our favorites too! The older they get the more their purple pops too.
First order and it did not disappoint! I was sent an extra and all of them made it safely, they were clearly packed with EXTREME caution, and arrived appearing extremely healthy after their long journey. On top of the care that was taken with selection and packaging, these beauties are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
