Blue Dream Neocaridina Shrimp

The Blue Dream Neocaridina is selectively bred from the same Neocaridina davidi base as Blue Velvet but targets a softer, paler sky-blue coloration, giving it a lighter, airier appearance. In a well-planted aquarium with dark substrate, the Blue Dream's subtle hue creates a calming visual contrast against green foliage. Like all Neocaridina, Blue Dreams are hardy and adaptable, thriving across a broad range of water parameters and breeding readily without specialized equipment. They are excellent grazers of biofilm, algae, and detritus and contribute positively to tank maintenance. A popular choice for community planted tanks and nano aquariums alike.
