BLACK ROSE SHRIMP

The Black Rose shrimp is part of the Neocaridina family of shrimp. Their shells have a strong black colour, slightly darker than the brown Chocolate Shrimp. They’re bred by selectively breeding darker and darker variants from the Chocolate morph until reaching almost pure black shells.

An adult will usually grow to a size of 3 cm (1.2 inches).

Grades

High grade Black Roses will have a powerful black colour all over their body and legs. This solid black should extend all the way from their head to their tail consistently, having no lighter or transparent patches.

A lower grade will likely look similar to the Chocolate shrimp, having a colour closer to a dark brown than a deep black. Their legs also will either be mostly translucent or be much lighter than their body.
