Beautiful deep blue colour morph of neocaridina davidi. Identical care to cherry shrimp. Do not mix colour morphs in the same tank as offspring revert to wild brown within 2 to 3 generations.

Same as cherry shrimp. Shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables and biofilm growing naturally in the tank.

Same as cherry shrimp. Female carries eggs for 3 to 4 weeks and fry are completely independent from birth.
