Black Nanacy is a Japanese word that translates into "no name" and are underrated in the hobby. These Nanacy have bold stripes on its body and a raccoon mask on its head. Grading varies, with how many stripes the Nanacy has on its body and how distinct its Raccoon mask looks on its head.

Nanacy were bred from Tiger and Taiwan Bee. These Nanacy are great shrimps to  breed with Galaxy pinto or Galaxy Fishbone to make Advance Nanacy. Although they are not as popular in the hobby, the high grades will totally make you fall in love with them. Nanacy are more opaque than Fancy tigers and is easier to maintain a clean pattern.

These are great for people who kept shrimps and are looking into something different and a little more challenging. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon.  Black Nanacy are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate.

Black Nanacy are intermediate to care for as they require remineralized RO water. When using fertilizer, make sure it does not contain copper as it is harmful to the shrimp’s health.

The shrimps you will receive will be juvies to sub adults which translate to 0.47 to 0.60 inches (1.2cm to 1.5cm).
