Blue Diamond High Grade
Deep, dark, and beautifully glossy — Blue Diamond Shrimp are one of the most striking Neocaridina varieties available. Their rich sapphire-to-midnight blue colouration gives them an almost velvety appearance under aquarium lighting, creating an eye-catching contrast against plants, wood, and lighter substrates. ✨
Selected for their darker coverage and stunning shine, these shrimp are a favourite for aquascapers and collectors wanting a bold, elegant colony with serious presence in the tank.
Blue Diamonds are active, hardy, and beginner-friendly, making them an excellent choice for both experienced keepers and those new to shrimp keeping alike.
