About
The Blue Dream Shrimp is a highly refined blue Neocaridina variant with a softer sky-blue colouration that differs from the deeper Blue Velvet line. Beginner-friendly, it adapts well to a wide range of water conditions and breeds freely in captivity. Its pastel-blue tones add a calming visual element to planted aquariums.
Care Guide
Keep in groups of 10+ in a planted, well-cycled tank. Feed algae wafers, biofilm, blanched vegetables. Stable water parameters maintain best colour. Breeds readily in suitable conditions — colony grows quickly. Avoid copper medications. Compatible with nano fish like ember tetras and small rasboras.
