Wild-Revert Neocaridina

Wild Revert shrimp are Neocaridina that have naturally returned to their ancestral colouration through the mixing of different breeding lines. Instead of the solid colours seen in selectively bred shrimp, these individuals display the natural patterns and tones found in wild-type shrimp.

Their colouration can range from earthy browns and olive greens to subtle striping or mottled patterns along the body. While less uniform than selectively bred varieties, these shrimp often have a striking natural beauty that blends beautifully into planted aquariums.

Wild Revert shrimp are particularly hardy and adaptable, making them an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced shrimp keepers. Their strong genetics and natural colouration often make them resilient and well-suited to a variety of freshwater aquarium setups.

Peaceful and active, they spend their time grazing on biofilm and algae throughout the aquarium, helping maintain the natural balance of the tank while adding movement and character.

Many shrimp keepers enjoy wild revert colonies because of the genetic diversity they bring. Over time, colonies may produce subtle variations in colour and pattern, making them fascinating to observe as they develop.
