Golden Back Yellow shrimp are a higher grade of Neon Yellow Shrimp that feature a brilliant, neon yellow "racing" stripe down the back.  Their gorgeous coloration draws the eye directly to these dynamic little shrimp and adds charm and cheer to any aquarium set-up.  These shrimp look great, clean your tank, and are a blast to watch!  They are very active and breed quickly.

We generally ship young adult shrimp that are already of breeding age.  Golden Back Yellow Shrimp are fairly adaptable creatures that can live in almost any freshwater aquarium with the right water parameters.  Younger shrimp may have not reached their full potential yet and will grow into a bright yellow color as long as they are comfortable in the tank.  Lower intensity lighting and dark substrate also helps them achieve the most vibrant yellows.
