The Sunkist Orange Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) is a striking variety of the popular Cherry Shrimp, selectively bred for its vibrant, citrus-orange shell. Their bold colouration stands out beautifully against green plants and darker substrates, making them a lively highlight in any freshwater aquarium.
Like all Neocaridina, Sunkist Orange Shrimp are hardy, peaceful, and spend most of their time grazing on algae and biofilm. They’re perfect for aquarists seeking both colour and function, as they actively help keep tanks clean while adding bright visual appeal.
