Galaxy BOA Assorted Shrimp Pack
Galaxy BOA Assorted Caridina shrimp feature a mix of high-grade BOA patterns with galaxy style spotting. BOA shrimp are a specific pinto pattern recognized by their cheek spots and back cape, and this assortment includes a variety of pattern expressions and coverage levels. Each shrimp is unique, and pattern, color intensity, and galaxy spotting will vary.
This listing is ideal for hobbyists and breeders who enjoy working with BOA genetics without focusing on an exact grade or look. Some shrimp may show stronger capes and heavier galaxy spotting, while others display lighter or developing patterns. As with most Caridina, color and pattern often continue to improve with age, stable parameters, and proper care.

No, each shrimp is unique. The pattern, color intensity, and galaxy spotting will vary. Some may have stronger capes and heavier spotting, while others show lighter or developing features.
Will the shrimp’s color improve over time?

Received a mix of BOA shrimp with interesting galaxy spotting. The patterns were diverse and some had strong capes. I’m happy with the variety and will use them for breeding. Color looks to be developing well in my tank.

The shrimp arrived healthy and showed good variation in spotting. Not all had full capes, but the mix works well for experimenting with BOA genetics. I plan to keep them in a stable environment to see further development.

Great selection for a beginner breeder. The galaxy spots are subtle but distinct. Each shrimp has a unique look, and I’m excited to observe how their patterns evolve over time.

Received 10 shrimp as described. Some had lighter spotting, others more defined capes. The pack is a good value for trying different BOA expressions without committing to a single look.
