BLUE DREAM SHRIMP

The Blue Dream Shrimp is a product of the selective breeding of the Red Cherry Shrimp for different colorations. Blue Dream Shrimp were bred from Blue Velvet Shrimp to produce the richest, brightest blue color possible. It’s a popular choice for freshwater shrimp hobbyists because of its stunning blue color as well as being relatively easy to care for and breed.

Blue Dream Shrimp make a striking and dynamic addition to a freshwater aquarium. These shrimp are very active as they scavenge the tank, cleaning up waste. They love to feed off of naturally occurring biofilm and algae, especially in a planted tank. For this reason, they can be quite low maintenance; in fact, they can even help keep your tank clean! Blue Dream Shrimp can withstand a pretty wide range of water parameters, and are not an aggressive species. This combined with their versatility makes them a good option as tank companions. Blue Dream Shrimp breed easily, making them a good choice for beginners to the freshwater shrimp hobby.
