Aura Blue Shrimp

Add some color and excitement to your aquarium with Aura Blue Shrimp!  These shrimp look great, clean your tank, and are a blast to watch!  Dream Blue Velvet Shrimp are very similar to the prolific Red Cherry Shrimp, but their coloration is a deep solid blue.  They are very active and breed very quickly.  A colony of these shrimp works as a very effective cleaning crew for your aquarium, cleaning up algae and waste.  

These are freshwater shrimp and can live in almost any freshwater aquarium.  They are very popular for planted tanks and community tanks, and many people use them in large aquariums for waste management and algae control.  We generally ship young adult shrimp that are already of breeding age.

Aura Blue Shrimp belong to the same species as Sakura Red Cherry Shrimp (Caridina davidi), so their care requirements are essentially the same.  All Dream Blue Velvet Shrimp are extremely adaptable creatures that can live in almost any freshwater aquarium.  Our shrimp ship out as breeding age young adults that are about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in length.  Some of the younger shrimp have not reached their full potential yet and will grow into a bright blue color as long as they are comfortable in the tank.  Lower intensity lighting and dark substrate also helps them achieve the deepest blue coloration.
