Neocaridina Genetic Gatcha Grab Bag

Genetic Grab Bag Shrimp – Sunkist × Goldenback Line

(DISCLAIMER: Buying more shrimp, such as selecting the single shrimp 4 times does NOT mean you get 4 DOA protection shrimp. You get one extra shrimp with your entire order.)

Welcome to the chaos club! These Neocaridina shrimp are the offspring of a Sunkist Orange line crossed with Goldenback Yellow, creating a vibrant, unpredictable mix of colors and patterns.

From softly transparent orange to deep tangerine, golden racing stripes to wild-type throwbacks—each shrimp is a surprise waiting to happen.

Why Choose Genetic Grab Bag Shrimp?

Color Variety: No two are exactly alike! Expect a range of oranges, light golds, and occasional wild patterns.

Perfect for Beginners or Those Who Experiment With Pigment: Hardy and lively, these shrimp thrive in planted or bioactive aquariums.

Natural Cleanup Crew: Great at grazing algae and biofilm while adding life to your tank.

These shrimp were culled from the community tank, into nano tanks, not for illness or unhealthy traits. Only for color. The background story to this is that I originally got my guppies and first batch of neocaridina from Houston Aquatics. They were supposed to send me "SSS Goldenback" shrimp. But instead sent me Sunkist. I mixed them with Goldenback from a LFS (Local Fish Store) and also some from Tucky's Bettas. You’re getting quality shrimp with fun, unexpected potential! 

These shrimp are shipped at any age and size. I live in a 10'x10' apartment and do not have a lot of space right now. So taking my color culls is basically like doing animal rescue, which is why I have them priced cheaper. You have a chance of getting my original sunkist shrimp, or any of the newborns. I've even had one male that was a jelly peach appearance. So if you just want shrimp to have shrimp, or want to experiment with genetics and pigments, these are the guys for you. But please please give them lots of love. I feel bad for them.
