Â
Black Galaxy Pinto Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis) are notorious for their very striking black and white coloration that makes them stand out magnificently against any backdrop or substrate.  Though similar to our Crystal Black Shrimp, these tend to be more uncommon and offer a more broken “galaxy” pattern.
These shrimp are A grade, meaning the intense coloration covers most of the body. Higher grades of Black Galaxy Pinto Shrimp actually have more white coverage and less black coverage, and can be very difficult to keep as they are much more sensitive than these. Because of this, A grade Black Galaxy Pinto Shrimp are the best starting point for anyone that wants to keep Black Galaxy Pinto Shrimp. Â
We also have the same type of shrimp in red and white, called a “Red Galaxy Pinto”. They will breed with these and produce either black/white or red/white offspring only, making an absolutely gorgeous-looking colony of galaxy shrimp.Â
