The Bloody Mary shrimp is considered one of the most beautiful varieties of the Neocaridina family. Unlike other red shrimp, the color of the Bloody Mary is found in the tissue of its body and not just on the shell, resulting in a more intense, "transparent" yet deep red shade. This characteristic makes it stand out against the green of the plants or the dark substrate, creating a wonderful contrast in your aquarium.
