🦐 Blood Orange Neocaridina
Deep Citrus Color. Clean Lines. Florida‑Raised.
These Blood Orange Neocaridinas bring a saturated, glowing orange that reads like a tiny ember moving through the tank. The color is rich, even, and consistent — not the washed‑out “orange-ish” you see in mixed imports. These are Florida‑bred, line‑stable, and raised for clarity and coverage, so the colony holds its tone from juveniles to adults.
Expect solid orange bodies, matching legs, and that smooth, glass‑friendly pop that makes them stand out in planted tanks, dark substrates, or minimalist scapes. They’re active grazers, always working the surfaces, and add a warm, lively contrast without overwhelming the layout.
If you want a shrimp line that brings real color presence and stays true generation after generation, Blood Oranges are the reliable flex.
