Extreme Blue Bolt

Extreme Blue Bolt Shrimp are one of the most iconic Taiwan Bee Caridina varieties, known for their vibrant, full-body blue coloration that ranges from sky blue to deep electric tones. These stunning shrimp are a favorite among aquascapers and shrimp collectors for their bold appearance and elegance.

Originally bred in Taiwan, Blue Bolts belong to the Caridina family and display a beautiful range of patterns. High-grade individuals are fully saturated with deep blue and little to no white. Mid-grade specimens may have lighter blue or cloudy white around the head. Lower-grade variants often have a balanced mix of blue and white, resembling Steel Blue shrimp.

Extreme Blue Bolts typically mature into breeding adults within about a month, making them a rewarding species for those looking to start or expand a breeding colony.

Each shrimp may feature:

• 🔵 Deep, full-body blue coloration
• ☁️ Occasional cloudy white tail or head patch (varies by grade)
• 🌱 Active, peaceful, and perfect for shrimp-only tanks

All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments to ensure healthy, stable individuals ready for acclimation.

Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.

🌊 Recommended Water Parameters for Extreme Blue Bolt Shrimp

• Temperature: 68–72°F (20–22°C)
• pH: 5.5–6.5 (slightly acidic)
• GH: 3–4
• KH: 0–1 (very low)
• TDS: 100–150 ppm
• Tank Size: Minimum 5 gallons
• Substrate: Active buffering substrate recommended

Tips for Success:
Due to their sensitivity, Blue Bolts require stable parameters. Use an active substrate to buffer pH in low-KH setups, and perform regular water changes to keep nitrates low. With proper care, they can thrive for 1–2 years and reproduce successfully in a well-established tank.
