Shrimp-Orange Eye Red Demon

Orange Eye Red Demon Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi variant)

The Orange Eye Red Demon Shrimp is a rare and striking Neocaridina variety, selectively bred for its deep, uniform red body and vivid orange eyes. This contrast gives them an intense, glowing appearance that stands out beautifully in planted aquariums.

Like other Neocaridina shrimp, they are hardy, peaceful, and excellent algae grazers, making them ideal for both display and functional cleanup. Their bright coloration is best maintained in tanks with dark substrates and good water quality.
