Blue Bolt Caridina

The Blue Bolt Caridina is a striking freshwater shrimp sought after by aquarium enthusiasts for its vibrant colouration and unique appearance. This variety of Caridina shrimp is notable for its captivating blue hue, which can range from a subtle pastel to a deep, electric shade, often with a marbled or bolt-like pattern running across its body. Native to Southeast Asia, these shrimp thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water parameters, as they are sensitive to changes in water quality. They prefer a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8 and a temperature range of 68°F to 74°F (20°C to 23°C). Blue Bolts are peaceful creatures, making them excellent additions to a community tank with other non-aggressive species. These shrimp contribute to the ecosystem by feeding on algae and detritus, helping to keep the tank clean. Their stunning appearance and beneficial role in an aquarium make Blue Bolt Caridina a favourite among hobbyists looking to add a splash of colour and life to their aquatic setups.
