Blue Dream Neocaridina Shrimp, also known as Fantasy Blue Velvet or Blue Dreams, are the one of the most desirable type of Neocardinia Shrimp due to their vibrant sapphire blue hue and ability to eradicate algae.

These freshwater shrimp are highly adaptable, making them ideal for pretty much any freshwater aquarium. They are commonly used in planted and community tanks, and are super effective for waste management and algae control. (These guys completely demolished my infestation of hairgrass algae when nothing else worked!) Their rapid breeding creates a colony that acts as a highly efficient cleaning crew, plus they add a splash of bright contrasting color.

Neocardinia Shrimp don't need much food, just one Invertebrate Wafer about the size of a dime is sufficient for 10+ shrimp. They can also enjoy blanched vegetables (like zucchini, carrots, and spinach) and algae wafers or pellets. Overfeeding often leads to death, so avoid giving them more than they can consume in two hours.

Recommended Tank Parameters
pH 6.4 to 8.0 72° to 82° F
kH 0-8
gH 4-14

Shrimp require calcium in the water to successfully molt and avoid dying during the stressful process. Calcium Supplements are an easy way to make sure they get the proper calcium intake for the best colors and health.

Do not keep shrimp with any fish that might be big enough or aggressive enough to make them a tasty snack. My betta lives just fine with them, but almost every fish will eat the shrimp babies.


Disclaimer:
My shrimp are ungraded, like many other hobbyists. I do cull undesirable colors from my colony to preserve the genetics. The shrimp you will receive will be blue and striking. As you can see in the photos, some legs or tails may not be solid blue.
