Subtle. Striking. Surprisingly rare. Dark Green Jade shrimp carry a deep, mossy green coloration that sets them apart from the typical reds and blues of the hobby — a true conversation piece in a planted tank. Like all Neocaridina, they're resilient and adaptable, happily grazing on algae and biofilm while breeding consistently in stable water. Their understated elegance makes them a favourite among aquascapers who want something different.
