The Yellow Galaxy Fishbone Shrimp is a vibrant and eye-catching Caridina variety that adds a bold splash of color and pattern to any freshwater aquarium. Known for its unique combination of bright yellow hues and galaxy-style markings, this shrimp is both a visual standout and a collector's favorite.
Their coloration ranges from soft pastel yellows to intense, saturated tones. These shrimp often display intricate patterns that may include spots, speckles, and fishbone striping along the back, contributing to their “galaxy” name. This contrast of color and detail makes each individual uniquely beautiful and fascinating to observe.
Yellow Galaxy Fishbone Shrimp are selectively bred and typically reach about 2–3 cm in size (0.8–1.2 inches). They are best suited for soft, slightly acidic water and do well in shrimp-only tanks or with other peaceful tank mates.
Each shrimp may feature:
- 💛 Vibrant yellow coloration with fishbone or galaxy-style markings
- ✨ High-grade Caridina line with selective breeding
- 📏 Sold at 0.5"–0.75"; can grow to ~1.2 inches
- ⏳ 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.
