What are Neocaridina shrimp?

Blue Dream shrimp are a colour line of Neocaridina davidi — hardy little freshwater shrimp that are perfect as pets, great for beginners, and brilliant for adding life to planted tanks.

Why people love them

  • Peaceful pets – fun to watch grazing all day, no drama.
  • Clean-up crew – they pick at biofilm, algae and leftovers.
  • Great in planted tanks – love moss, wood and leaves, and make tanks look alive.
  • Low space – a small tank can still run a nice colony.

What they can live in

  • Temp: comfy around 18–24°C (stable is more important than “perfect”).
  • Tank: best in a cycled tank with plants/moss and places to hide.
  • Water: stable water. Avoid sudden swings and big shocky changes.
  • Tankmates: safest with peaceful fish (or shrimp-only). Big fish can eat shrimp.

Breeding (if you want babies)

  • Easy breeders once settled: stable tank + food + hiding places.
  • Moss & leaf litter helps babies survive (loads of micro-food/biofilm).
  • Start with a group – I recommend 25–100 shrimp to kick off a colony.
  • No fancy tricks – keep it stable and they do the rest.

Tip: if you just want them as pets (no breeding), you can keep them the exact same way — you’ll just see fewer babies but these are breeding machines.
