Neocaridina davidi, often called neo or cherry shrimp, are the easiest dwarf shrimp to start with. They are hardy, colourful and breed readily in a well-established freshwater tank, which is why they suit both first-time keepers and planted aquascapes. Our Neocaridina range covers classic colours such as Fire Red, Blue Jelly, Fantasy Blue, Green Jade, Golden Back Yellow, Sunkist, Snowball and Red or Orange Rili, as well as rarer golden eye and orange eye lines.
