About

The Blue Dream is one of the most popular blue Neocaridina davidi morphs, displaying a clean, solid sky-blue to cornflower-blue coloration across the entire body. Its color reliability and beginner-friendly hardiness have made it a staple of Belgian and Dutch shrimp shops. High-grade specimens show vivid, near-opaque blue color with no visible transparency through the shell, making colonies a spectacular display in planted nano tanks.

Care Guide

Maintain stable water parameters with weekly 20–30% water changes. Feed dedicated shrimp food, biofilm, and blanched vegetables. Keep with peaceful nano fish or shrimp-safe species only. Breeding readily in good conditions; isolate top grades to maintain color quality.
