Skittles Cherry Shrimps – A Little Bit of Natural Variety!
Not every cherry shrimp needs to be bright red, blue or yellow to be interesting.
Our Skittles Cherry Shrimps are a mixed-colour group of Neocaridina davidi, often showing natural shades of clear, translucent, tan and brown.
They might not have the flashy colours of selectively bred shrimp, but they're just as fascinating to watch!
These little creatures spend much of their day exploring plants, mosses and surfaces, grazing on biofilm and keeping themselves busy.
They're a lovely reminder that sometimes the simplest things in an aquarium can be the most enjoyable.
Do you prefer brightly coloured shrimp or the more natural, wild-type look?
