The Black Nanacy (Black Nanashi) is a rare and striking Caridina shrimp that has recently emerged as a standout in the shrimp-keeping world. This elegant variety is the result of crossing two highly sought-after shrimp lines: the Galaxy Pinto and the Nanacy Pinto.

Each Black Nanacy features a deep black base with intricate Nanacy-style body patterns and distinctive white “galaxy” cheek spots — giving it a starry-night appearance that is both refined and otherworldly. Due to the complexity of its genetics and the difficulty in reproducing consistent patterns, this line is considered highly exclusive and is prized among collectors.

As with many designer shrimp, the price may vary depending on color intensity, pattern clarity, and size. While rare and expensive, Black Nanacy shrimp are a rewarding addition for keepers looking to elevate their tank with something truly unique.

Each shrimp may feature:

  • 🌌 White galaxy cheek spots paired with Nanacy body pattern
  • 🖤 Deep black base coloration with variable pattern coverage
  • 📏 Sold at 0.5"–0.75"; can grow to ~1 inch
  • Lifespan of 1–2 years with proper care

All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments for better health and easier acclimation.

Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/2" and 3/4" in size when possible.
