Snowball White Shrimp
Neocaridina davidi var. Snowball
The Snowball Shrimp is a delightful and unique Neocaridina variant known for its pristine, translucent milky-white body and brilliant white eggs that genuinely resemble tiny snowballs! Originally bred in Germany, this line is incredibly prolific and hardy, making it a fantastic choice for beginners. Their ghostly appearance creates a beautiful contrast on dark substrates and makes it incredibly easy to observe their internal biology—you can watch the food digest in their tract and see the eggs develop! They are eager eaters and rapid breeders in standard tap water conditions. If you're looking for something completely different from the usual reds and blues, the Snowball is a perfect choice.

💡 Interesting Facts
- • The name 'Snowball' comes purely from the appearance of the female's eggs, which look like a clutch of miniature snowballs.
- • They are a color mutation of the wild Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis, closely related to N. davidi.
- • Because they lack dark pigmentation, they are extremely poor at hiding from predators, so they must be kept in species-only tanks or with very peaceful micro-fish.
