Quick Overview
The Blue Pearl Shrimp (Neocaridina sp.) is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists thanks to its hardiness and ease of care. Its delicate pearly blue coloration adds a subtle splash of color to planted aquariums. Peaceful and social, it thrives with other gentle tank mates and appreciates aquariums with plenty of mosses and hiding places. An omnivorous scavenger, it feeds on algae, biofilm, and high-quality shrimp foods. Under suitable conditions, it breeds readily and helps maintain a clean, balanced aquarium.
