Black Galaxy Fishbone - Caridina
Black Galaxy Fishbone Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis) are one of the most striking and sought-after Caridina shrimp varieties, admired for their deep black bodies marked with bold white patterns and the distinctive “fishbone” striping along their backs. Their galaxy-like speckling and crisp contrast make them a true showpiece in planted aquariums and a favorite among advanced shrimp keepers. While more sensitive than Neocaridina shrimp, they thrive in stable, soft, and well-maintained freshwater tanks, rewarding careful aquarists with their rare beauty and fascinating activity. Peaceful and graceful, they spend their days grazing on biofilm, algae, and leftover food, helping to keep your aquarium clean while adding an unmatched elegance to your aquascape.
