Green Shrimp

Caridina babaulti

The green shrimp is a beautiful Indian dwarf shrimp with an extraordinary green body color. The basic color of this species is bright green and many, if not most, of the females have a white stripe down their backs. The bright green color and the white back-stripe along with the more slender body, among other things, distinguish this shrimp from the dark green shrimp.

This shrimp will change its body coloration if it is stressed out or sick. Healthy shrimp stay green all the time. Since the green shrimp comes from tropical areas, the water temperature should not drop below 68°F for extended periods of time.

Approximate Purchase Size: Medium 1cm - 2cm
