Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; green coloration can be variable, cull for consistency. A rarer olive-to-jade green Neocaridina morph. Same easy care as other cherries: hard stable neutral water, mature planted tank, biofilm plus shrimp food. Copper sensitive — no copper medications. Green is a less stable trait, so regular culling keeps the color true.
