Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; intense translucent-red color over clear shell (blood-red flesh). A striking morph with deep blood-red coloration that shows through a translucent shell, derived from chocolate stock. Easy Neocaridina care: stable hard neutral water, mature planted tank, biofilm plus shrimp food. Copper sensitive — no copper medications. Color holds remarkably well across substrates.
