About

The Bloody Mary is one of the most intensely colored Neocaridina davidi morphs, displaying a deep blood-red coloration that penetrates the entire body including musculature and organs—giving even transparency-free, gem-like coloration. Unlike standard Red Cherry Shrimp where coloration varies widely, high-grade Bloody Mary specimens show exceptionally dense, uniform red with minimal or no visible transparency through the shell. They are as hardy and prolific as any standard Neocaridina.

Care Guide

Provide a well-established planted aquarium with stable water chemistry. Feed high-quality shrimp foods, blanched spinach, and biofilm. Keep with peaceful nano fish or invertebrates only. Avoid copper-containing medications. Regular partial water changes maintain health and breeding activity.
