Skyfish -Neocaridina davidi 'Boody Mary' (Bloody Mary Shrimp)

Bloody Mary Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)

Premium-grade imports from Skyfish Aqua, Taiwan – bred for rich, deep coloration.

Bloody Mary Shrimp are one of the most intensely colored variants of Neocaridina davidi, featuring a deep, translucent cherry-red shell with a glossy finish. Unlike Fire Reds, their vibrant hue comes from their tissue rather than the shell, giving them a unique glowing appearance under aquarium lighting. Carefully bred by Skyfish Aqua, Taiwan, our Bloody Mary Shrimp are top-tier in both health and coloration.
