Yellow shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. "Yellow"*, are hardy, peaceful, freshwater invertebrates that are popular for aquariums due to their bright yellow coloration and ability to keep tanks clean. These selectively bred shrimp reach about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, are omnivorous, and readily breed in captivity. They are easy to care for, adapting to a wide range of water parameters, making them a great choice for beginners.
