The Blue Dream Shrimp is a popular Neocaridina variety known for its vivid sky-blue coloration and gentle, peaceful behavior. Its bright and uniform blue tones make it a standout addition to planted tanks, nano aquariums, or species-only shrimp colonies.
Shipped at 0.5–0.75 inches, these juveniles are hardy and will mature to around 1–1.2 inches, with their blue coloration becoming richer and more vibrant as they grow.
Care & Aquarium Requirements:
Blue Dream Shrimp thrive in soft, stable, slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5, temperature 70–78°F). Planted tanks with moss, driftwood, and biofilm surfaces provide ideal grazing and hiding spots. Peaceful and social, they do best in species-focused Neocaridina tanks or with other gentle shrimp varieties.
Breeding Information:
Females carry eggs until hatching, producing offspring that inherit the vivid blue coloration of the adults. Maintaining stable water conditions ensures healthy growth, optimal color, and a thriving shrimp colony.
