Blue Dream Shrimp (lower grade)

Description

Very good quality, outdoor bred Neocaridina Blue Dream Shrimp. These are the ‘culls’ of our normal Blue dream shrimp. The ones that were either too dark blue or too light or have brown in them. Their offspring may be high quality blue dreams but we do not guarantee this. We also do not guarantee males or females either, if you want both sexes we recommend ordering 10.

These popular, hardy Neocaridina Shrimp are great for people wanting to start out keeping and breeding shrimp. They look great in a planted aquarium. They love to live in grass or moss so we recommend having a planted tropical aquarium.

Neocaridina shrimp have a distinctive head with a pointy rostrum (nose) and four antennae (one pair longer than the other). Neocaridina shrimp have eyes that protrude on stalks on either side of the rostrum, and three pairs of short legs beneath the mouth that help the shrimp scavenge for food. The shrimp’s abdomen has six overlapping shell segments and five pairs of legs for swimming.

They are fine to keep with peaceful fish such as tetras and most live bearers, though keep in mind if your aim is to breed them then they are best kept on their own without fish because they babies will almost certainly be eaten by the fish.
