Our golden back yellow Neocaridina Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are a vibrant freshwater shrimp variant with a bold yellow body and a gold dorsal racing stripe running from head to tail. This “golden back” trait is both natural and selectively bred — making them an eye-catching addition to planted tanks, nano scapes, or shrimp colonies.

These shrimp are peaceful, algae-grazing inverts that thrive in groups. They’re beginner-safe and a great choice for anyone looking to build a bright colony with excellent contrast against green plants or dark substrate.
