Red Onyx Shrimp

❤️🖤 Red Onyx Neocaridina Shrimp

(Neocaridina davidi “Red Onyx”)

🦐 Summary:
Dark, delicious and full of personality! Red Onyx Neocaridina mix rich ruby-red, chocolate and deep shadowy tones to create a beautifully dramatic shrimp that looks different from every angle.

🍃 Description:
The Red Onyx Neocaridina Shrimp is a proper little tank treasure. Their colouring can move through deep red, warm chocolate, burgundy and near-black, giving them that gorgeous polished-stone appearance that inspired the Onyx name.

Every shrimp brings something slightly different to the colony. Some may be richer and redder, while others show deeper, moodier tones — and that beautiful variation is all part of their charm. Together, they create a lively little group packed with colour, character and plenty of Shrimp Cove magic.

They are peaceful, hardy and always busy pottering around the tank, grazing across moss, plants, wood and substrate. In a mature, stable aquarium, they settle in beautifully and soon become some of the most entertaining little residents to watch.

At Shrimp Cove, our Red Onyx are raised in Neocaridina parameters and carefully chosen for health, personality and those wonderfully rich, unusual tones.
