Black Galaxy BOA shrimp (Caridina cantonensis)
Black Galaxy BOA shrimp provide a striking appearance to any freshwater aquarium featuring a black and white pattern resembling the stars.
Black Galaxy BOA grading:
- Vibrant, opaque white and black body with stripes on the tail and spots on the head
- The more spots there are on the head, the higher the grade.
- Opaque legs are also desirable
- Highly desirable for advanced aquarists and shrimp enthusiasts
Black galaxy BOA shrimp used to be a rather expensive shrimp in the hobby, but have become more affordable recently. They do require a more experienced keeper as opposed to neocaridina shrimp, but are not quite as hard to keep as crystal red varieties.
Given the correct parameters and a bit of patience, these shrimp will readily breed to create their own little colony in your home aquarium!

GH (General Hardness): 4-6 dGH
KH (Carbonate Hardness): 0-2 dKH
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): 160-200 ppm
