Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; 'Golden Back' grade shows a bright dorsal stripe. A bright yellow color morph; Golden Back and Neon Yellow are higher grades with a vivid back stripe. Same easy Neocaridina care — stable hard neutral water, mature planted tank, algae and supplemental food. Copper sensitive — avoid copper meds. Do not house with red morphs if you want pure offspring, as crosses revert toward wild brown.
