Add a striking flash of gold to your aquarium with our Gold Back Shrimp. These colorful freshwater Neocaridina shrimp are known for the bright golden stripe that runs along their back, creating a beautiful contrast against their body coloration.
Gold Back Shrimp are peaceful, active scavengers that spend their day exploring plants, décor, and aquarium surfaces while grazing on algae, biofilm, and leftover food. Their distinctive dorsal stripe makes them especially eye-catching in planted aquariums.
Each order includes 10 live Gold Back Shrimp.
Gold Back Shrimp can be kept with axolotls, but they may be eaten. Axolotls are opportunistic predators, so any shrimp small enough to fit in an axolotl's mouth should be considered a potential snack.
Providing live plants, hides, and other cover gives shrimp more places to explore and retreat.

Gold Back Shrimp do best in an established aquarium with stable water conditions. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or water chemistry, and gradually acclimate new shrimp before introducing them to the aquarium.
These are live animals, so exact size, coloration, and the intensity of the gold stripe will naturally vary between individual shrimp.
