Neocaridina

Common card · No. 480933

Neocaridina is a genus of small, land-locked freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae (order Decapoda, infraorder Caridea) native to East Asia. The genus comprises roughly c. 25–30 described species (numbers vary with ongoing revision and differing treatments of synonyms and subspecies). Several Neocaridina species are widely traded as ornamental aquarium shrimp, especially Neocaridina davidi (commonly known as “cherry shrimp”), which has been introduced outside its native range and has established populations in thermally altered waters and other suitable habitats in parts of Europe, North America, and elsewhere.
