Red Onyx Neocaridina Shrimp

The Red Onyx Neocaridina Shrimp is a selectively bred Neocaridina davidi variety, prized for its deep maroon to dark brown hues with striking dark marbling, creating a polished, onyx-like appearance. Developed through careful selection, this unique strain is still relatively new, meaning its coloration isn't entirely stable, and not all offspring will display the same intensity as their parents. Females tend to exhibit the most vibrant shades of maroon and dark red, while males often show more subdued tones. Their bold contrast stands out beautifully against plants and dark substrates, making them a stunning addition to any freshwater aquarium. Hardy and adaptable, they thrive in various water conditions, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced shrimp keepers. While they can coexist with other Neocaridina, keeping them in a dedicated colony helps maintain and refine their striking coloration. Whether you're seeking a standout addition to your tank or working to stabilize this emerging variety, Red Onyx Shrimp bring elegance, depth, and dynamic beauty to any aquascape.
