The Orange Eye Blue Caleco — also known as the Orange Eye Blue Dragon Blood — is a rare and visually intense Caridina shrimp variety out of Germany. This striking shrimp combines marbled blue coloration with its signature glowing orange eyes, creating a mythical appearance unlike any other.
This variant of the Blue Caleco line has been selectively bred for deeper blues, mixed patterning, and enhanced contrast. Each shrimp exhibits unique marbling, ranging from icy blue to inky sapphire tones, often with bold head markings or smoky gradients across the shell.
Each shrimp may feature:
- 🐉 Blue marbled body with dragon-scale patterns
- 🟠 Bright orange eyes for high contrast
- 🌿 Peaceful temperament perfect for shrimp-dedicated tanks
All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments to ensure healthy, strong individuals that acclimate easily.
Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.
