The Shadow Blue Panda Shrimp is a rare and highly sought-after Caridina shrimp, featuring a rich blue-black body with distinctive white markings that resemble a panda’s pattern. Their bold contrast and graceful movements make them a standout in planted aquariums or species-only shrimp setups.
Shipping at 0.5–0.75 inches, these juveniles are hardy and ready to adapt to your aquarium. Adults grow to approximately 1–1.2 inches, with coloration intensifying as they mature.
Care & Aquarium Requirements:
These shrimp thrive in soft, stable, slightly acidic water (pH 5.8–6.8, temperature 68–74°F). Heavily planted tanks with moss, driftwood, and biofilm-rich surfaces encourage natural grazing behavior. Peaceful by nature, they are best kept in species-only Caridina aquariums or alongside other gentle shrimp varieties.
Breeding Information:
Females carry eggs until they hatch into miniature versions of the adults. Maintaining stable water conditions ensures healthy growth and consistent patterning in offspring, making them an exciting species for breeders seeking high-grade Caridina genetics.
