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.
