Pure Black Line Shrimp (Caridina sp.)

The line pattern strips a Caridina's markings down to two bold, high-contrast bands running nose to tail — no mottling, no gradient, just clean black and clear. Being a Caridina, it wants steadier, softer water than your average Neocaridina, but the payoff is one of the most graphic patterns in the hobby.
