Odd-eyed shrimp

Odd-eyed shrimp are a unique variety of freshwater shrimp known for their distinctive eyes—one larger or differently colored than the other, creating a striking appearance. They are popular in the aquarium hobby due to their vibrant colors and interesting look. Originating mainly from Southeast Asia, these shrimp are hardy, adaptable, and improve aquarium health by scavenging algae and debris. They typically reach about 1 to 2 inches in size and thrive in stable, well-maintained tanks with clean water and plenty of hiding spots. Their eye variation is a natural genetic trait, making each individual visually distinctive.
