Yellow Neocaridina Shrimp

Bright, active, and constantly cleaning when you’re not looking.

Yellow Neocaridina shrimp are vibrant freshwater dwarf shrimp that bring colour, movement, and constant grazing activity to planted aquariums.

They spend their day picking across surfaces, feeding on biofilm, soft algae, plant matter, and leftover food, quietly helping maintain a cleaner, more balanced tank.

Think of them as tiny yellow janitors… just significantly more attractive and easier to manage.
