Blue Bolts - Caridina

Known for their striking gradient of icy white to deep blue, these shrimp are true gems in any freshwater setup. Each Blue Bolt is selectively bred from high-quality Taiwan Bee lines, resulting in brilliant coloration, strong genetics, and consistent patterns.

These shrimp thrive in soft, slightly acidic water, where they display their brightest blues and healthiest behavior. Perfect for experienced shrimp keepers, Blue Bolts reward stable water conditions with vibrant color and active breeding. They do best in species-only tanks or peaceful communities with similar water requirements.

  Care Tips:
  Blue Bolts prefer soft, remineralized RO water and a stable, well-cycled environment. Keep parameters consistent and avoid sudden fluctuations. A substrate designed for Caridina shrimp, such as active soil that buffers pH, helps maintain optimal conditions. Provide mosses and botanicals for grazing surfaces and safe molting.
