Chocolate Shrimp
Chocolate Shrimp are closely related to Black Rose and Bloody Mary Shrimp. These shrimp represent the latest colour variations that have come on the market. Their brown colour varies from a light brown to a nearly black, they can even show a slight blue shimmer.
Neocaridina Shrimp or more commonly known as Cherry Shrimp are very adaptable and easy to keep shrimp. They are very social and peaceful and can be kept with different shrimp species in the same tank (Crystal Shrimp, Taiwan Bee, Amano etc.). They are prolific breeders.
Please be aware that different colours should be kept apart to avoid interbreeding which can result in brown/wildtype offspring in the 2nd generation and beyond. There are certain exceptions where interbreeding won't throw up wildtypes, but they will change the colouring and intensity over time. Examples for these combinations would be: Orange Sakura + Orange Rili, Bloody Mary + Black Rose + Chocolate, Blue Jelly + Blue Rili + Blue Velvet + Fantasy Blue. We still advise against mixing these, if you are interested in maintaining the same colour throughout the generations!
If you have any questions beforehand, don't hesitate to contact us - We are happy to answer any question and guide you through the process!
Ideal water parameters:

Note: Neocaridina (Cherry) Shrimp are very adaptable and they can live in nearly all water parameters, even significant different to the ones posted above! These shrimp can be kept in nearly every tap water.
