Black Rose Shrimp feature a stunning dark colour that must be seen to be believed! Known to some as Black Tiger Shrimp, these stunning animals are a deep black-brown colour, which immediately draws all eyes to them in any aquarium set-up!
Black Rose shrimp are a selectively bred variant of Neocaridina davidi - the same species as Sakura Red Cherry shrimp. Care requirements for these shrimp are close to those for Sakura Red Cherry shrimp. When kept in high quality water that is maintained within the recommended water parameters, these shrimp may grow into a large, beautiful colony! As with all dwarf shrimp, a colony of Black Diamond shrimp work as a very effective cleaning crew for your tanks, cleaning up algae and waste.
We generally ship young adult shrimp that are already of breeding age and range from 1/2 to 3/4 inch in length.
