Blue Diamond Shrimp

Elevate your aquarium with the stunning Blue Diamond Shrimp, a premium variety selectively bred from Chocolate shrimp, and hailing from Taiwan. These exquisite creatures boast a strikingly deep, dark blue hue complemented by a glossy, black shell.

Care Instructions: Blue Diamond Shrimp are adaptable and thrive in a range of water conditions. They perform best in hard water with a gH of at least 8, which enhances their vibrant color. Ensure your aquarium is fully cycled with no detectable Ammonia or Nitrite, and keep Nitrate levels below 25ppm. For optimal health, perform weekly water changes of 10-20% and feed sparingly2-3 times a weekto avoid overfeeding and potential health issues.

Breeding Information: Breeding Blue Diamond Shrimp is straightforward. With both males and females in the tank, they will reproduce naturally. Females carry eggs for around 30 days, which hatch into tiny versions of their parents. A well-established aquarium is crucial for the survival of the shrimplets, as they rely on biofilms for nourishment until they mature. To maintain the purity of the Blue Diamond strain, its advisable to keep only one type of Neocaridina shrimp per tank, as crossbreeding can revert offspring to their wild coloration.
