Key Features:
Species: Caridina cantonensis (Taiwan Bee - Blue Bolt)
Size: 0.5” juveniles
Lifespan: 1.5 – 2 years
Color Grade: A
Temperament: Peaceful, ideal for shrimp-only or nano tanks
Swimming Level: Bottom to mid-level
Origin: Tank-raised in soft, stable water conditions
Ideal Tank Parameters:
Temperature: 68°F – 78°F (20°C – 25.5°C)
pH: 6.0 – 6.8
GH (General Hardness): 4 – 5
KH (Carbonate Hardness): 0
TDS: 100 – 150 ppm
Substrate: Active substrate (e.g., ADA Amazonia, Brightwell, SL-Aqua)

Why Choose Blue Bolt Shrimp?
✔ Vivid Gradient Blue Coloration – From Ice Blue to Deep Azure
✔ Part of the Taiwan Bee Family – Compatible with CRS, Shadow Panda, Red Fancy Tiger, etc.
✔ Peaceful and Easy to Keep in a Shrimp-Only Setup
✔ Great for Planted Tanks, Breeding Projects, or Nano Aquascapes
✔ Hardy with Proper Acclimation and Water Stability
Care Requirements:
Blue Bolts thrive in clean, stable, soft-water environments, ideally with active substrate to buffer pH and KH. They prefer mature, cycled tanks with abundant biofilm, mosses, and hiding spots. Regular small water changes using remineralized RO/DI water will help keep parameters consistent and encourage healthy molting and breeding.
Tank setup suggestions:
Add mosses, driftwood, and botanicals for shelter and foraging
Indian almond leaves or alder cones promote biofilm and lower pH
Avoid sharp substrates or decorations
Gentle flow with sponge filtration is ideal
Diet:
Omnivorous and algae-grazing. Offer a rotation of shrimp-specific foods, biofilm enhancers, blanched vegetables (spinach, zucchini), snowflake food, and occasional protein treats.
