Blue Dream Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) is a stunning, deep-blue dwarf shrimp prized for its intense, velvety coloration that looks almost electric against green aquatic plants. Higher quality blue dreams than our blue cull shrimps on our list, these blue dreams are highly a bit darker, more visible, with a deeper blue color. The body has darker and deeper blue color and the legs of the shrimp can be either light blue or transparent in color. Healthy, locally bred or well quarantined imported shrimp available. They grow up to 2.5–3 cm. Ours range from 1cm – 1.5cm in size.

We advise you to start with at least ten Blue Dream Shrimp to ensure they feel safe. They are very social and thrive in large numbers. They can handle a fairly wide range of pH from, as well as moderate to high water hardness (GH), which is essential for them to build strong exoskeletons. We keep our neocaridina shrimps in an average TDS of 180 – 220 at a temperature of 22 degrees celcius. Well accustomed to South African tap water and relatively easy to acclimate.

Care must be taken with tank mates, avoid any large or aggressive fish. As omnivorous scavengers, they are not picky eaters. Their favorite meals include sinking shrimp pellets and blanched vegetables like zucchini.

Quick Care Tips

  • Social: Keep in groups of ten or more; they are far more confident and visible when supported by the security of a larger colony.
  • Environment: These shrimp flourish in tanks with dense plants, driftwood, and aquatic mosses. These provide essential hiding spots and large surface areas for grazing on biofilm.
  • Diet: Provide a varied diet including calcium-rich sinking shrimp pellets, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables to support healthy shell development and successful moulting.
