The Red Wine Hinomaru Caridina Shrimp is a striking selectively bred variant of the red Caridina lines, admired for its deep wine-red colour and distinctive Hinomaru marking — a bold circular pattern on the head, inspired by the Japanese flag.
Hinomaru shrimp are known for their crisp, clean white patches and highly defined patterning. Each shrimp displays unique marking quality, with some showing classic Hinomaru circles and others showcasing no-entry or double-circle variants. Their vibrant red and bright white contrast gives your aquarium a premium, high-end aesthetic.
As true Caridina cantonensis, Red Wine Hinomaru require stable Caridina parameters, an active substrate, and a mature tank to thrive. At Shrimp Cove, all Red Wine Hinomaru are raised exclusively in Caridina conditions to ensure exceptional health, colour, and long-term stability.
