The Orange Eye Wild Neocaridina is a fascinating and rare variant of the standard wild-type Neocaridina shrimp, best known for its striking bright orange eyes set against a naturally muted or translucent body. This shrimp preserves the classic “wild” look while offering an unexpected pop of color through its glowing eyes.
This variety has emerged through careful selective breeding and is still extremely limited in availability, making it a prized addition for enthusiasts who appreciate subtle beauty and rarity. Unlike color-morph Neocaridina like Bloody Mary or Blue Dream, the Orange Eye Wild retains a more natural coloration—ranging from translucent gray to olive tones—highlighted by its vibrant orange eyes.
These shrimp are just as hardy and easy to care for as their colorful cousins, making them a great choice for both beginner and advanced shrimp keepers who are looking to add something truly unique to their colony.
Each shrimp typically features:
- 👁️ Bright orange eyes set against a translucent or olive-toned body
- 🫧 Natural “wild-type” Neocaridina appearance with extra flair
- 🌿 Hardy, peaceful, and beginner-friendly
All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments for optimal health and acclimation.
Note: All Neocaridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.
