Green Jelly Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are a rare and eye-catching freshwater shrimp variety prized for their beautiful translucent green coloration. Their unique colour stands out against natural driftwood, rocks, and lush planted aquariums, making them an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to create a truly distinctive aquascape.
These active shrimp spend their day grazing on biofilm, algae, and leftover food while constantly exploring the aquarium.
