The algae shrimp is the archetype of various dwarf shrimp strains, including the well-known Red Fire dwarf shrimp. They can include slightly bluish, reddish, yellowish or greenish individuals. A little more coloring is shown on a dark background.
It is important to know that the so-called "algae shrimp" does not eat more algae than other Neocaridina variants.
