📝Care notes

Deep black morph of neocaridina. Stunning against light coloured substrate or bright green plants. Same easy care as cherry shrimp. Very popular in planted tanks for the dramatic colour contrast.

🍽️Feeding

Shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables, algae wafers. Identical diet to cherry shrimp.

🐣Breeding

Same as cherry shrimp. Breeds readily in stable water conditions without any special requirements.
