Snowball Shrimp

The Snowball Shrimp is scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. Snowball will stand out in your aquarium due to its stunning white color. This color has been achieved by years of breeding by experts, which has led to the pearl-colored beauties we know as Snowball Shrimp today. They are incredibly popular due to how easy they are to keep, as well as their peaceful behavior towards other aquarium inhabitants.

The Snowball Shrimp can almost be considered a must-have for beginners and experts alike due to their unique appearance and the fact that they’re super easy to care for. Just like other shrimp from the Neocaridina family, they are incredibly hardy and prolific, making them the ideal addition to any aquarium. They are scavengers with most of their diet consisting of dead plant remains. They are incredibly active due to their constant desire to eat, so they are great for adding a little bit of “life” to your aquarium.
