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!
