Introduce a unique and striking addition to your tank with the selectively bred Black Panda Shrimp. Known for its bold black-and-white pattern reminiscent of a panda, this Caridina variety is a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts and shrimp collectors alike.
Originally developed in Japan as a black color variant of the Bee Shrimp, the Black Panda line has been refined through years of selective breeding. While most feature crisp black and white contrast, some individuals may carry Shadow Panda genetics — revealing subtle blue hues under certain lighting or stress conditions.
These shrimp are peaceful, active, and compatible with other soft water Caridina species, making them a beautiful and safe addition to any established shrimp tank.
Each shrimp may feature:
- 🐼 Classic panda-style black and white coloration
- 🔵 Potential for blue tones due to Shadow Panda genetics
- 📏 Size range of 0.5" to 0.75" at sale; can grow to 0.75–1.25"
- ⏳ 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.
