Blue Dream Shrimp
Neocaridina davidi 'Blue Dream'
Family: Atyidae
📍 Taiwan (captive developed)
Blue Dream Shrimp are a high-grade selectively bred Neocaridina davidi morph displaying deep, solid cobalt-blue coloration throughout the body. The 'Dream' grade represents the most intense and uniform blue coloration, without the lighter patches seen in standard Blue Velvet morphs. They share the same hardy, beginner-friendly care requirements as Red Cherry Shrimp and breed prolifically in stable, planted tanks.
