Snowball Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi 'Snowball')

The Snowball Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi 'Snowball') is named for its distinctive white, round egg clusters visible through the female's translucent body during breeding. The shrimp itself displays a clean white to pale cream colouration that stands out elegantly against darker substrates and hardscape. A hardy, adaptable shrimp suitable for beginner shrimp keepers, following Neocaridina care requirements.

Maintain Neocaridina water parameters: pH 6.8–7.8, GH 6–14, KH 2–6, temp 18–26°C. Provide a well-planted aquarium with fine substrate and Indian Almond leaf or botanical additions for biofilm. Feed quality shrimp-specific foods: biofilm wafers, blanched vegetables, and leaf litter. Avoid copper-based medications — lethal to all shrimp. Sensitive to ammonia and chlorine; acclimate slowly.
