About
The Sunkist Orange is a premium Neocaridina davidi strain selectively bred for a rich, deep orange coloration reminiscent of a ripe mandarin orange. Top-grade specimens exhibit near-opaque coloration with no visible body organs, creating one of the most vibrant solid-color shrimp presentations available. Undemanding in care and prolific in reproduction, they make a stunning centrepiece in any nano planted aquarium.
Care Guide
Maintain stable water chemistry with neutral to slightly alkaline pH and moderate hardness. Feed dedicated shrimp food, biofilm, and blanched vegetables. Perform regular partial water changes. Avoid copper medications. Selective breeding of deepest-orange specimens maintains color quality over generations.
