Scientific Name: Neocaridina. Davidi
Common Name: Bloody Mary Shrimp
Fully Grown Size: 1.6 inches (4cm)
Bloody Mary is unique compared to Red Cherry Shrimp. Bloody Mary has a shorter rostrum than Red Cherry Shrimp and is red-fleshed instead of having a red shell. Bloody mary can be translucent red or can be as dark as a Painted Fire Shrimp. Bloody Mary has amazing coloration and is beautiful in every way.
Bloody Mary comes from the Neocaridina Davidi Line and has been selectively bred to get its red flesh 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.
Bloody Mary 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. Bloody Mary 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.
Blood Mary 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.

Although it's rare that shrimps will arrive DOA, it does occur due to the process of shipping and the amount of stress it puts on the shrimps so we always recommend overnight shipping. In an event of an DOA, a refund or reshipment will be issued for only the DOA (not including the shipping cost).
To Claim DOA:
Ordered 5, got 7, one of which was berried. These were beautiful skrimps!
I paid $20 for delivery within 48 hours. I received my delivery almost 15 days after I ordered. Though the customer service email was replied to within an hour or two, they promised they would send a couple of extra shrimps because of the delay. Never received extra shrimp. One shrimp died the next day. Would not blame them for that of course. But had they been following this delay and compensated with a couple of extra shrimps, It would be great. The quality of shrimps are great though.
The shrimps which received is of great color and quality . And also the follow ups and DOA refunds are prompt and addressed very well .
Definitely recommend and look forward to future business.
Received 20 bloody marys and all had great coloring! Very bold red. Bought to add stronger genetics for my current colony. No regrets! Billy has quality shrimp and throws in extra. TY!
