Shadow Mosura Caridina Shrimp

The Shadow Mosura Caridina Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis) is a Taiwan Bee variety prized for its bold contrast and dramatic patterns. Characterized by a blue body accented with deep black markings around the head, and sometimes around the tail, each shrimp displays a one-of-a-kind look that instantly stands out in any tank. Their name comes from the striking “mask-like” head pattern that makes them a true showpiece in the shrimp-keeping hobby.

Whether housed in a planted display or a shrimp-dedicated setup, Shadow Mosuras not only bring beauty and variety, but they also help maintain balance in your tank by grazing on algae and biofilm.

These shrimp are best suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists who enjoy keeping and breeding distinctive Caridina lines. With stable water conditions, Shadow Mosuras breed readily, allowing dedicated keepers to establish a thriving colony.
