Overview: The Gold Back Shrimp Neocaridina, a dazzling variant of the popular Neocaridina family, boasts vibrant golden hues and striking back patterns. Known for their hardiness and captivating appearance, these shrimp are a delightful addition to freshwater aquariums.

Origin: Originating from selective breeding of Neocaridina shrimp species, the Gold Back variety showcases a stunning golden coloration against a contrasting dark backline, captivating aquarists worldwide.

Feeding: These shrimp are omnivores, relishing in a diet that includes algae, biofilm, blanched vegetables (like zucchini or spinach), and specialized shrimp pellets or food. Their diet is relatively easy to manage, contributing to their suitability for aquarists of various experience levels.

Tank Mates: Gold Back Shrimp are peaceful creatures, making them excellent tank mates for most non-aggressive fish and other shrimp species.
