Wild neocaridina shrimp...

[Magnum Man]

so I currently have red, blue, orange, and yellow neocaridina shrimp, all breeding in their own tanks, separated by color...

so today I was wondering what actual wild neocaridina look like???

I found these tank bred, but wild type... will keep digging a little more... looks like the color variety was there, but the color density, was bred into them???

Wild Form Neocaridina Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi), Tank-Bred!

If you’re new to keeping freshwater dwarf shrimp, the Wild Form Neocaridina Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) is the easiest to keep. This species has been naturally developed into multiple red (cherry), yellow, blue, orange, green, maroon, dark brown, black, and white forms with multiple variations...

These were born in my tank. I bought a batch of mixed coloured Neos and after a few months started seeing a lot of this type, which I perhaps naively assumed were wild coloured.

Very nice looking shrimp

How are they doing. ?

The shrimps are thriving. It is interesting that I'm now seeing a few different coloured shrimp - black, yellow, orange - together with the "wild" coloured. And some of ones like my photos ^ have a faint pinkish hue and others a faint greenish hue.


These shrimps are in my main tank; I bought them for a bit of interest and didn't mind what colour I ended up with.

I also bought a mixed group of coloured shrimp similar to @Essjay
After a few months the "wild types" are the most noticeable

I want to add shrimp to my breeding tanks but my temps are too high. I run between 82⁰-86⁰
