The Yellow Boa Shrimp is a breathtaking addition to the Boa shrimp family, showcasing a distinct snake-like pattern with a shimmering metallic sheen. Originally developed from the Galaxy Fishbone lineage, this shrimp features a striking blend of deep black and golden-yellow hues that become more pronounced with age.
Each Yellow Boa boasts a unique dorsal pattern, characterized by a bold stripe that gradually dissolves into intricate markings across the head and body. The contrast between its metallic overlay and warm yellow base creates a visually stunning effect, making it a standout choice for Caridina keepers.
Boa shrimp are graded based on pattern intensity:
- 🌟 Grade S & SS: Some transparent areas, with visible patterning
- 💛 Grade SSS: Nearly full-body color coverage, with deeper yellow and a more intense metallic effect
All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments for optimal health and acclimation.
Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4\" and 1/2\" in size when possible. Subject to change.
