A variant of Cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)

Sakura

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

A mid-tier red grade sitting between low-grade translucent Red Cherry and solid Fire Red: the red is fuller and covers most of the body but the legs and a little of the underside stay clear. The most commonly sold 'good red' Neocaridina.

Keeper tips for this variant

Cull the palest and most translucent individuals each generation and keep the colony closed; Sakura readily firms up toward Fire Red grade over a few generations of selection.
