Neocaridina davidi Painted Blue Shrimp

The Neocaridina davidi Painted Blue is a high-grade refinement beyond the standard Blue Velvet morph, selectively bred for maximum pigment density and near-total body opacity. Where standard Blue Velvet retains some translucency, the Painted Blue achieves a deep, almost painted solid blue coverage with minimal transparency visible even through the body. This produces a shrimp of exceptional visual intensity that stands out brilliantly in planted aquariums, especially against dark substrates and lush green plant backgrounds. Despite its premium appearance, the Painted Blue retains the full hardiness and adaptability of all Neocaridina davidi morphs, tolerating a broad range of tap water conditions without specialized equipment.
