Bloody Mary Shrimps are beautiful deep wine-red coloured shrimps as they are Neocaridina heteropoda, they will interbreed with cherry, fire red and snowball, yellow shrimp. Unlike other red shrimp that may show darker shell pigment, Bloody Marys often have a more uniform internal red colouration, giving them a glassy, jewel-like appearance under aquarium lighting. They are active grazers, constantly feeding on biofilm, algae, and leftover food, and they help keep planted aquariums clean and balanced. Like all Neocaridina, they are hardy, adaptable, and beginner-friendly, breeding readily in stable freshwater conditions. Adults typically grow to about 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3 cm).
