Description:

Introducing the Black Rose “Chocolate” Shrimp, a dazzling addition for freshwater aquarium enthusiasts. Renowned for their rich, dark hues, these shrimp effortlessly stand out against lighter substrates, adding a dynamic visual appeal to your tank.

The Chocolate Shrimp, a popular choice among hobbyists, is celebrated not only for its striking coloration but also for its ease of care and breeding. These active shrimp diligently scavenge your aquarium, cleaning up detritus and thriving on natural biofilm and algae, particularly in well-planted tanks. This makes them a practical and low-maintenance choice, even contributing to the cleanliness of your aquatic environment.

Adaptable to a broad range of water parameters and displaying a non-aggressive nature, Chocolate Shrimp make excellent tank mates. They are the result of selective breeding of the Red Cherry Shrimp, showcasing a spectrum of deep red to dark brown shades, and are occasionally referred to as Black Cherry Shrimp. Some individuals feature dark brown spots and stripes over a translucent yellow base.
