Galaxy Fishbone
The Galaxy Fishbone Shrimp are a truly breathtaking designer Caridina shrimp, admired for their intricate skeletal-style patterns, galaxy spotting, and bold high-contrast markings. Combining the elegance of Fishbone genetics with the shimmering “galaxy” effect, these shrimp are considered a standout centrepiece in premium shrimp collections.
Their unique white patterning stretches across a deep dark body in delicate rib-like lines, often paired with tiny star-like galaxy spots across the head and shell. No two are ever exactly alike, making every shrimp feel individually crafted.
Galaxy Fishbones thrive best in mature soft-water Caridina aquariums with stable parameters, clean water, and biofilm-rich environments.
At H&K Aquatics, our Galaxy Fishbones are carefully selected for striking pattern quality, healthy genetics, and active behaviour before shipping.

Galaxy Fishbone Caridina
The Galaxy Fish Bone Caridina is a captivating freshwater shrimp species, prized by aquarists for its striking appearance and unique pattern. This variant of the Caridina cantonensis species is renowned for its intricate colouration and markings. The name “Galaxy” comes from its speckled pattern, reminiscent of a starry night sky, while “Fish Bone” refers to the distinct, bone-like lines along their bodies. Typically, these shrimp display a deep blue or black base colour, adorned with white or lighter-coloured markings. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions, as they are sensitive to environmental changes. Providing a varied diet and ample hiding spots ensures they remain healthy and vibrant, making them a stunning addition to any aquascape.
