Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; named for its bright opaque-white eggs that resemble snowballs. A translucent-white Neocaridina-type shrimp; eggs are a distinctive bright white. Easy care like cherries: stable hard neutral water, mature planted tank, biofilm plus supplemental food. Copper sensitive — no copper medications. Will interbreed with other Neocaridina morphs, so keep separate for pure stock.
