About this shrimp

A rich, solid blue Neocaridina that stands out beautifully against green plants and dark substrate. Hardy and easy to breed, a colony adds colour and constant activity to any planted tank.

Care

Hardy and beginner-friendly. Keep in a fully cycled, mature tank of 20 litres or more at 20–26 °C, pH 6.5–8.0 and GH 6–10; most UK tap water is fine once dechlorinated. Use a sponge filter or a sponge over the intake, add moss or plants to graze, change 10–20% of the water weekly, and drip-acclimatise slowly on arrival. Never add copper-based medicines. Keep one colour per tank to keep the colour true.

Feeding

Grazes biofilm and algae all day. Add a small pinch of shrimp food or blanched spinach or courgette every day or two and remove leftovers after a couple of hours. A varied diet helps keep the blue strong.
