The Black Rose Shrimp is a bold and beautiful color morph of Neocaridina heteropoda, selectively bred for its rich, velvet-black shell. These freshwater dwarf shrimp provide a dramatic contrast in planted tanks and are a great addition to peaceful community aquariums or shrimp-only setups.
As active scavengers, they help keep your tank clean by consuming leftover food, biofilm, and algae.
