Yellow Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are a vibrant freshwater shrimp variety prized for their brilliant golden-yellow coloration and peaceful temperament. Their striking colour creates beautiful contrast against lush green plants, dark substrates, and natural driftwood, making them an eye-catching addition to any planted aquarium.
These active shrimp spend their day grazing on biofilm, algae, and leftover food while constantly exploring the aquarium. Hardy, beginner-friendly, and highly adaptable, Yellow Shrimp are an excellent choice for shrimp keepers of all experience levels. Given stable water conditions, they readily breed in freshwater aquariums.
