    Black Rose Shrimps are dark black shrimps. Their shiny black shell reminds me of dark knights. Some people may confuse them with chocolate but genetically they are different. There isn’t really a grading for black roses because they are all black. They may differ in different shades of black but are mostly dark.

    Black Rose comes from the Neocaridina Davidi Line and has been selectively bred to get its black color. Although there are multiple colors of neocaridina in the same line, it is not recommended to mix them to keep the genes to be the purist it can be. If you do however mix the colors, you will most likely end up with wild brown colored offsprings.

    Black Rose like all neocaridinas are slightly harder to sex until they mature. Once they mature, the female will have a curved underbelly and the male will have a straight underbelly.

    These are popular among the shrimp hobby and are great for people getting into the hobby. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon.  Black Rose are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate. They make excellent clean up crews for aquascape tanks. 

    Black Rose are easy to care for as they require remineralized RO water or tap. If you are using tap, keep in mind to check for any harmful metals or chemicals in the water as all tap water is different and some aren't safe to use. 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 sub adults to adults which is 1/2 to 3/4 inches (1.3 to 1.9cm).

    Excellent!

    I have had my black rose colony for 1 year now.
    They were the primary thing I put in my 14 gallon no flow Walstad.

    I ordered 15 everybody was alive on arrival, even had a few extra shrimplettes.
    I drip acclimated them and only lost 1 out of 15 the first 2 weeks.

    They are very happy and have been breeding non stop. I chose black rose cause you’re supposed to be able to get a bunch of different colors from their genetics and they did not disappoint.
    While the initial batch was a beautiful black, and they are still producing more black, I also have some translucents and rili running around.

    I absolutely adore my shrimp colony.

    Predatory leeches

    I got my shrimp and they are doing great! A few died from shipping but that is what happens. But my shrimp had tons of leeches on them, I didn’t know until I already added them to my tank, good thing I have nano fishes because it seems like they picked all of them off.

    Black rose

    Not all black rose When you put a light up to them they were dark blue or dark green. I went through them only had like 5 real Black rose. King Kong shrimp did fine. Package had no heat pack and it was pouring rain. I don’t think buyers should have to pay for a heat pack if you know it’s going to be cold. Seller should do everything to make sure stock makes it. One was dead and red color when it got to my house and when dumped them out to see them one other one was on its side died minutes later. Through out the week they started dying off I even saw like a worm attached to one of the shrimp so they had parasites, make sure these guys are quarantined before putting them with other shrimp or fish.
