Bloody Orange Shrimp

Rating is 5.0 out of five stars based on 1 review

Bloody Orange Shrimp are truly stunning freshwater creatures that captivate aquarium enthusiasts. These tiny shrimp are often compared to the popular Pumpkin or sunkist shrimp.

Unlike the Sunkist and Pumpkin Shrimp, whose orange coloration is limited to their shells, Bloody Orange Shrimp have a deep, rich orange hue that permeates their entire flesh. This vibrant coloration is a key identifying characteristic of this variety.

Shorter Rostrum

Another distinguishing feature of Bloody Orange Shrimp is their shorter rostrum, or "beak". This subtle difference in body shape can help aquarists easily identify this unique shrimp species.

Neocaridina can tolerate a wide range of water parameters, in our case we can use Omaha NE tap water.
Imported

Imported can get a bad rep. They are typically a lot cheaper than homebred but travel a long distance. Several of my imports come from Taiwan to California to Nebraska. As you can imagine this stresses out shrimp and casualities are common.

Neocaridina imports typical come from outdoor farms. Variables aren't as easily controled. Water parameters can be pretty extreme to what we as hobbyist keep. I've measured parameters to be 18 GH, 12 KH and close to 400 TDS from the water they are received in. My water parameters for Neos comes from Omaha tap water and is typically 8GH 8KH TDS 250.

What makes Aqua Atomic Imports different?

I quaratine for a minimum of 2 weeks. I find most of the shrimp casualities happen in the first 10 days. However I still offer the shrimp at a much cheaper cost than homebred.

Homebred

Homebred are typically 2+ generations removed from any shrimp import. Hobbyist have to be vigilant in culling to maintain high grade colors. Imports typically are high grade and no culling is needed.
