Orange Sakura Shrimp
Neocaridina davidi var. Orange
The Orange Sakura Shrimp, also known as the Pumpkin Shrimp, brings a warm, autumnal orange vibrance to the planted aquarium. This striking color morph of the common Neocaridina is relatively new but has quickly become a hobbyist favorite due to its intense, opaque orange coloration that resembles a tiny tangerine. Bred in local Indian waters, they possess the same legendary hardiness as other Neocaridina variants, making them extremely forgiving of minor water parameter fluctuations. They are diligent workers, spending their entire day grazing on surfaces, cleaning up leftover fish food, and consuming soft algae. Their bright coloration makes them exceptionally easy to spot, even in dense jungles of Java Moss or Monte Carlo.

💡 Interesting Facts
- • The 'Sakura' grade refers to a high level of color opacity, where the shell is deeply colored with very few translucent patches.
