California · Neocaridina Breeder

Freshwater shrimp,
bred for color.

CaliShrimp raises Neocaridina — hardy, prolific, aquarium-safe shrimp in some of the hobby's most saturated colors. Cherry Shrimp and Blue Dream are opening the lineup, with more colors hatching behind them.

Healthy water makes healthy color.

“We're starting small — two proven color strains, raised in stable, well-cycled tanks — before we grow the colony any wider.”

CaliShrimp is a new California-based breeder built around one idea: shrimp only color up as well as the water they're raised in. Every tank is cycled, tested, and kept on a steady schedule before any shrimp go up for sale — we'd rather ship fewer shrimp in great condition than rush a batch out the door.

Now Hatching

The first two color lines

Both are the same easygoing species — Neocaridina — just bred for different colors. If you can keep one, you can keep the other.

Cherry Shrimp, a red Neocaridina color strain, on dark substrate among aquarium plants

Cherry Shrimp

Neocaridina ‘Red Cherry’

The classic red shrimp of the freshwater hobby. Color runs from a translucent Sakura pink up through solid, opaque Fire Red depending on grade — a dependable starting point for any planted tank.

Blue Dream Shrimp, a blue Neocaridina color strain, on aquarium gravel

Blue Dream Shrimp

Neocaridina ‘Blue Dream’

A selectively-bred blue morph of the same hardy species, prized for a deep, opaque blue that pops against green plants. Same easygoing care as Cherry Shrimp — just a different color line.

Keep colors separate. Neocaridina color strains interbreed freely with each other, and offspring trend back toward wild coloring. Keep Cherry and Blue Dream in their own tanks — ours and yours — if you want the color to stay true.
