Bloody Mary Shrimp

Neocaridina davidi 'Bloody Mary'

Family: Atyidae

📍 Taiwan (captive developed)

Ask Finn

Bloody Mary Shrimp are a deeply coloured Neocaridina davidi morph with an intense, translucent blood-red coloration that differs from the opaque red of Painted Fire Red or regular Cherry Shrimp — the red pigmentation is visible through the body, giving them a vivid, glowing quality. They are as hardy and easy to breed as other Neocaridina morphs, making them accessible for beginners seeking a striking red shrimp variety.
