Chocolate

A variant of Blue velvet shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)

Chocolate

Representative Blue velvet shrimpphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

A rich solid brown ('chocolate' to near-black) line and the genetic base from which the blue lines were developed. Closer in tone to wild-type but far more opaque and uniform.

Keeper tips for this variant

Because chocolate sits genetically near wild-type, ruthlessly remove any pale or banded individuals — this line backslides toward muddy wild coloration faster than the brighter morphs.
