ULTRA BLUE DREAM NEOCARIDINA SHRIMP

The first shrimp to truly enchant us and bring us into the shrimping world! These captivating shrimp, commonly referred to as Blue Dreams, will typically be shipped as sub-adults, measuring around half an inch (.5 inches). Their mesmerizing patterns are particularly enhanced when showcased against white/lighter substrates. We prioritize sending more juveniles, known for their resilience on their journey to your home.

Blue Dream shrimp, a variety of Neocaridina Davidi, have become popular in the aquarium hobby due to their striking blue coloration. These shrimp are selectively bred for their vibrant blue color, which can range from pale blue to deep azure. Selective breeding involves choosing individuals with desired traits, in this case, the intense blue coloration, and breeding them to enhance and stabilize the characteristic over successive generations.

We recommend using remineralized RO/DI water for your invertebrate friends. They will be much healthier and happier resulting healthy and happy babies!

They do well with peaceful smaller fish, but will thrive on their own. Babies will have a higher survival rate if fish/larger predators aren’t present.

Drip acclimating shrimp is very important prior to new shrimp entering your aquarium!
