Blue Dream like Red Cherry Shrimps are popular among the hobby as well. Blue Dreams have amazing coloration and are beautiful in every way. The grading is judged by how opaque the blue is. The more opaque it is, the higher the grade is. The highest grade of Blue Dream Shrimps are Blue Sapphire which has full blue coverage throughout its body and legs.
Blue Dream comes from the Neocaridina Davidi Line and has been selectively bred to get its blue color. Although there are multiple colors of neocaridina in the same line, it is not recommended to mix them to keep the genes to be the purist it can be. If you do however mix the colors, you will most likely end up with wild brown colored offsprings.
Blue Dream like all neocaridinas are slightly harder to sex until they mature. Once they mature, the female will have a curved underbelly and the male will have a straight underbelly.
These are popular among the shrimp hobby and are great for people getting into the hobby. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon. Blue Dreams are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate. They make excellent clean up crews for aquascape tanks.
Blue Dreams are easy to care for as they require remineralized RO water or tap. If you are using tap, keep in mind to check for any harmful metals or chemicals in the water as all tap water is different and some aren't safe to use. When using fertilizer, make sure it does not contain copper as it is harmful to the shrimp’s health.

Shrimp arrived happy and healthy. Excellent communication, pretty good packaging, shipped on time, and great price. Very satisfied customer and will absolutely purchase again!
All of my shrimp are very blue in color, all are healthy. After being in my tank for a couple weeks I've only lost one shrimp out of the 30 that I purchased. And that only happened after I did a water change. But all are alive and healthy. No disease, or parasites. I definitely recommend trying out this website for shrimps

A little over half of them have died already. But shipping was fast. Only one was dead upon arrival.
