Opaque white color; females carry bright white egg clusters that resemble snowballs. Hardy Neocaridina — similar care to Cherry Shrimp. Does not crossbreed with Caridina. Easy to breed.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
