Blue Jelly Shrimp

Blue Jelly Shrimp, also known as Neocaridina davidi var. “Blue Jelly”, are a fascinating addition to freshwater aquariums. These shrimp have a semi-transparent or translucent body, allowing a glimpse of their internal organs. Their striking feature is their mesmerizing light blue color, which can vary in intensity and depth.

Blue Jelly Shrimp are relatively small, typically reaching a size of around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) when fully grown. Their compact size makes them well-suited for a variety of aquarium setups, including nano tanks.

Blue Jelly Shrimp are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful fish and invertebrates that share similar water parameters. They are known for their active and inquisitive nature, constantly foraging on algae, biofilm, and other organic matter in the aquarium.

Blue Jelly Shrimp are considered hardy and relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions. Providing a planted tank with hiding places and a balanced diet that includes algae-based foods will contribute to their well-being and vibrant coloration.
