Red Devil OE Caridina Shrimp – Deep Red with Orange Eyes

Red Devil OE is a Caridina shrimp recognised for its intense red coloration and distinctive Orange Eye phenotype. The photographed shrimp displays deep burgundy-to-red pigmentation across most of the body, with brighter red tones visible around the head, tail and segment edges. Its predominantly solid coloration creates a bold appearance with minimal contrasting patterning. As an Orange Eye variety, this Devil line combines rich red pigmentation with the distinctive eye trait sought after by specialised Caridina keepers. Colour depth, opacity and red intensity can naturally vary between individuals.

Care Notes

Red Devil OE shrimp are best maintained in a mature, fully cycled soft-water aquarium with stable conditions. A buffering active substrate paired with remineralised RO water is commonly used to maintain the low KH and mildly acidic environment preferred by specialised Caridina. Provide established biofilm, mosses and other grazing surfaces alongside a balanced shrimp diet. Avoid sudden changes in temperature, TDS or mineral concentration, particularly during water changes. Careful acclimation and consistent water chemistry are important for healthy moulting, long-term maintenance and breeding.
