Neocaridina Shrimp
Orange Eye Snowball Shrimp
Pale Snowball bodies and orange eyes create a gentle contrast. An appealing freshwater shrimp for planted aquariums and attentive colony keepers.

Orange Eye Snowball Shrimp bring a softer colour palette to the aquarium. Their pale, translucent-to-milky bodies let the orange eyes stand out, especially when they graze against dark wood or a green leaf. The result is a shrimp that rewards a closer look rather than relying on a solid block of colour.
These are Neocaridina shrimp and suit an established freshwater setup with stable mineral levels. Moss and fine-leaved plants provide places to browse, rest and shelter. A dedicated colony lets you enjoy their delicate appearance without constant disturbance from larger tankmates.

Pale Bodies and Bright Eyes
Expect natural variation. Snowball colour can appear more transparent or more milky from one individual to another. Age, sex, lighting and the background all influence the view.A peaceful addition. They spend much of their time picking at established surfaces. Leave some mature grazing areas in place when cleaning the aquarium.Small shrimp need protection. Fish may eat juveniles and newly hatched shrimp. A species-focused aquarium and protected filter intake give a growing colony a better start.Freshwater reproduction. Females carry eggs and release miniature shrimp. Keep this line separate from other Neocaridina varieties when preserving its appearance is important; offspring traits can vary.
How to Set It UpGetting Started
1Start with an established tank. Cycle the aquarium fully and confirm zero ammonia and nitrite. Mature moss, plants and hardscape provide grazing surfaces and shelter while the colony settles in.
2Keep water chemistry steady. Acclimate gradually to the aquarium and avoid sudden changes in temperature or mineral content. Consistent conditions matter more than chasing a particular number within the care range.
3Protect small shrimp. Use a sponge filter or cover the intake with a suitable prefilter. Fine plants and crevices offer places to hide during moulting and give young shrimp a better chance of finding food safely.
4Feed to the colony’s appetite. Offer small portions of a balanced shrimp food alongside natural grazing. Remove leftovers and make modest, regular water changes with water matched to the aquarium.
Bonus Tip
Use dark, neutral hardscape behind a favourite grazing spot. It makes the pale bodies easier to see without increasing the light level or removing the cover they rely on.
