Orange Sunkist Neocaridina Shrimp

The Orange Sunkist Neocaridina Shrimp is a vibrant, selectively bred Neocaridina variety known for its bright citrus-orange coloration that looks fresh, bold, and full of energyโ€”just like a glass of Sunkist on a sunny day. This shrimp line is carefully selected for strong orange saturation and clean shell coverage, making it one of the most eye-catching orange shrimp available for freshwater aquariums.
