Neocaridina Yellow Neon - Standard

⚡ The Neocaridina Yellow Neon Shrimp: A touch of sunshine in your aquarium

Bring a pleasant splash of color into your aquatic world with the Neocaridina Yellow Neon (classic yellow strain). Less saturated than a high-end version, this variety boasts a softer, more natural lemon-yellow coloration, ranging from translucent to semi-opaque. It's the ideal choice to easily brighten up your tank.

Hardy, active, and accessible, this is the perfect shrimp for beginners, to energize a nano-aquarium, and to observe the fascinating behavior of invertebrates.

 🌟 Its advantages

  A soft and natural glow: Its yellow coloration offers a very interesting contrast in the aquarium. It stands out beautifully against a dark substrate and blends wonderfully with the green of mosses and aquatic plants.

  Unique shades (Dorsal line): On this strain, the appearance of a dorsal line is not systematic. Some individuals may develop this longitudinal band, but it is often discreet and can be discontinuous, fragmented, or interrupted, which gives a unique charm to each specimen.

   A tireless cleaning ally: Always on the move, it spends its days inspecting the decor, grazing on nascent fine algae, and cleaning the substrate, thus actively participating in the ecosystem's balance.

   Neocaridina hardiness: Very tolerant of water parameters, it easily forgives small beginner mistakes and reproduces readily in fresh water.
