Blue Pearl Shrimp

Blue Pearl Shrimp, a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium, are small, vibrant creatures known for their striking blue hue. Scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi, these shrimp are a selectively bred variant of the wild Neocaridina species. Their vivid colour, which can range from a pale sky blue to a deep sapphire, adds a pop of colour to tanks and provides an engaging visual contrast against green plants and dark substrates. Blue Pearl Shrimp are relatively easy to care for, making them a popular choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. They thrive in stable water conditions with a pH ranging from 6.5 to 8.0 and temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. These shrimp are peaceful and social, often seen grazing on algae and detritus, contributing to the tank’s cleanliness. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, Blue Pearl Shrimp are fascinating to observe as they interact with their environment and each other, often seen exploring and foraging with their tiny, delicate appendages.
