The Snowball Shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis var. Snowball, is a standout addition to any aquarium with its striking white coloration. Originating from Germany and bred meticulously by experts, these pearl-colored beauties are cherished by aquarists of all levels for their ease of care and peaceful temperament towards other tank inhabitants. Snowball Shrimp have been selectively bred for their white coloration, earning them the nickname "snowball shrimp." True to their name, their translucent white bodies evoke the purity of freshly fallen snow. Interestingly, some sources suggest that the name may also refer to their pure white eggs, resembling mini snowballs when carried under the female's white saddle. Considered a must-have for both beginners and experienced hobbyists, Snowball Shrimp's unique appearance and low-maintenance nature make them highly sought after. Like other members of the Neocaridina family, they are incredibly hardy and prolific breeders, making them an ideal choice for aquarium enthusiasts. These scavengers primarily feed on dead plant matter, keeping the tank clean and vibrant. Snowball Shrimp have proven to be just as robust and fast-breeding as their Cherry Shrimp counterparts. With their snowy appearance and lively activity, they inject a sense of vitality into any aquarium, earning them a well-deserved place as a favorite among aquatic enthusiasts.
