The Blue Jelly Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) is a product of selective breeding involving the Blue Rili Shrimp, resulting in a distinctive light blue coloration. While they can occasionally exhibit a slight greenish tint, their striking appearance makes them an ideal addition to peaceful community aquariums. They are well-suited for beginners due to their ease of care and breeding.
For optimal social dynamics, maintaining a minimum of 10 Blue Jelly Shrimp in your tank is recommended, as they are highly social creatures. This fosters group confidence and reduces stress. They peacefully coexist with other freshwater shrimp, non-predatory tropical fish, and various snail species. The coloration can vary, and dietary influences may occasionally result in subtle green tints. However, these variations add to their charm and uniqueness.
