The Spotted Red Pinto Mosura Shrimp (Caridina cf. cantonensis "Pinto Mosura") is a rare and visually captivating Taiwan Bee shrimp, known for its bold red head and elegant, high-contrast patterning. A designer shrimp developed through generations of selective breeding, this variety adds vibrant color and complexity to any Caridina tank.
The defining feature of this shrimp is its intensely red head with mottled or spotted Mosura-style markings. The contrast between the vibrant red and the rest of its patterned white body makes each individual stand out as a unique, living work of art.
Selective breeding from high-grade red Pinto lines has made this shrimp a prized addition to display tanks and advanced breeding projects. Whether you're building a showcase tank or refining your line, the Spotted Red Pinto Mosura is a top-tier choice.
Each shrimp may feature:
- 🔴 Vibrant red head with spotted or mottled Mosura markings
- ✨ Intricate Pinto body patterns on a clean white base
- 📏 Sold at 0.5"–0.75"; can grow to ~1 inch
- ⏳ Lifespan of 1–2 years in ideal conditions
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.
