Description:
Mid-grade Orange Neocaridina shrimp are hardy, active freshwater invertebrates prized for their bright orange coloration and algae-eating abilities. While their hue is not as intense as high-grade lines, they still add a striking splash of colour to planted aquariums. These shrimp are perfect for hobbyists looking for a balance between affordability and beauty.
