Getting to know the neocaridines of Manuel and José Isidoro - Granjas Nature
In today's post, we talk about @aquadesigngranjasnature and the varieties of Neocaridinas that exist on the market.
With the collaboration of Manuel and José Isidoro, we found a complete definition of this aquatic invertebrate. Neocaridinas are two varieties of freshwater shrimp native to Taiwan. And although there are more varieties, Granjas Nature presents the following:

In its wild variety, the colors range from gray, brown and greenish as the predominant color.
They can also show subtle hues such as reds, oranges, yellows and blues.

They are native to southern China, Taiwan and northern Vietnam.
They are ideal for amateurs who are just starting out in the world of shrimp.
