Blue shrimp

Marie Hood · 04-15-2009, 01:12 PM

I'm thinking of getting some light blue shrimp for my community tank. Are they difficult to take care of. I'm a novice but i'm learning fast. Thanks!

Hello

you dont go have difficult to take care of blue pearl, but you must see what fish you have with them.

Blue Pearl Shrimp (one of only 2 true breeding blue dwarf shrimp) are fairly easy to care for. They have VERY similar care requirements to the Cherry Shrimp....

All and all, a simple shirmp!

What is the 2nd species of true blue shrimp, and what about the other blue shrimps, are they artificially made to be blue?
I know the blue berry shrimp, the babaulti blue and the tiger blue.

Blue tigers are also true blues

Hi,

take care if you buy blue ones on the market , some are colored by special food and will get no blue offspring.

Blue Tiger shrimps (Caridina cf. cantonensis) are sometimes a bit sensitive and more expensive than Blue Pearl (Neocaridina cf. zhangijajiensis), which are more simple in care.

Greetings, Pia
