Shadow Blue Panda Shrimp (Caridina cf. cantonensis) – High-Contrast, Eye-Catching Shrimp for Advanced Keepers
The Shadow Blue Panda Shrimp is a premium Caridina shrimp prized for its deep navy-to-black body contrasted with icy blue and white panda-like markings. These shrimp are selectively bred from Taiwan Bee lines and are known for their intense coloration and rarity in the hobby. Each individual adds a refined, high-end aesthetic to planted or specialty shrimp tanks.
These shrimp do best in soft, clean, and stable water with low TDS and minimal fluctuations. Due to their sensitivity, they are recommended for experienced shrimp keepers or those with established Caridina setups. Shadow Blue Pandas thrive in tanks with active substrate, gentle flow, and biofilm-rich surfaces.
