The Red Galaxy Fishbone Shrimp is a vibrant and striking Caridina variety known for its unique fishbone or zebra-like back patterns and galaxy-style head spotting. A counterpart to the Black Galaxy line, Red Galaxies are equally loved for their visual complexity and beginner-friendly care requirements.
Introduced in 2016, the Red Galaxy Fishbone quickly stood out in the shrimp hobby for its brilliant red coloration paired with distinct head spots. Shrimp with more, smaller cheek spots are often seen as higher-grade examples of the line.
This line occasionally produces rare blue or green hues and is known for its bright, solid “spider” leg appearance, adding even more color and character to your tank.
Each shrimp may feature:
- ❤️ Red galaxy head spots and zebra-like back striping
- 🕷️ Solid white spider legs
- 🔵 Occasional blue or green undertones
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 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.
