Caridina babaulti Blue Shrimp

The blue morph of Caridina babaulti hails from the freshwaters of India and displays a striking sky-blue to teal body coloration that is entirely natural and free of selective breeding interference. Unlike blue Taiwan Bee variants that demand extremely soft, acidic, low-TDS water, C. babaulti blue tolerates a broader range of parameters including moderately hard water, making it accessible to intermediate shrimp keepers. An active grazer of biofilm, algae, and detritus, this species thrives in planted aquariums with abundant surface area for foraging. A peaceful, community-compatible invertebrate that adds a distinctive cool-blue accent to freshwater displays.
