Blue Cobalt Shrimp Neocaridina 2cm

Overview: The Blue Cobalt Shrimp, a dazzling variant of the Neocaridina davidi species, captivates aquarists with its vibrant cobalt blue hue. These freshwater invertebrates are prized for their striking coloration and ease of care, making them an ideal addition to planted aquariums.

Origin: Originally bred from the wild Neocaridina davidi species in Taiwan, these shrimp have been selectively bred to intensify their brilliant blue coloration.

Feeding: Blue Cobalt Shrimp are omnivores and thrive on a diet of algae, biofilm, commercial shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables (like zucchini or spinach), and occasional supplements like calcium-rich foods for shell health.

Tank Mates: Peaceful and non-aggressive, Blue Cobalt Shrimp coexist harmoniously with similarly peaceful tank mates. Consider companions like small fish species (such as endlers or small tetras), snails, or other non-predatory invertebrates.

Aggression: These shrimp are known for their peaceful nature, posing no threat to other tank inhabitants. However, avoid housing them with larger, aggressive fish that may prey on them.

Experience Level: Suited for aquarists of all skill levels, including beginners. Their hardy nature and minimal care requirements make them an excellent choice for those new to shrimp keeping.
