Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; deep brown morph related to the black line. A rich chocolate-brown Neocaridina morph. Care matches other cherries: hard stable neutral water, mature planted tank, algae and supplemental food. Copper sensitive — avoid copper meds. Keep separate from other morphs to prevent muddying the color.
