High-end ornamental shrimp – electric blue and advanced selection
Caridina Blue Bolt is a selected variety of Caridina cf. cantonensis, belonging to the Taiwan Bee group. It is distinguished by its milky white to intense blue body, which can range from translucent sky blue to deep blue depending on the grade and genetics.
Highly prized in aquascaping and specialised tanks, it requires soft, acidic and extremely stable water. It is intended for careful aquarists who have mastered the technical parameters.
Optimal maintenance in a well-cycled nano-aquarium with active technical substrate, mosses and numerous biofilm surfaces.
Detritivore / biofilmivore
Moderate distribution to avoid any increase in nitrites.
It is essential to use active technical soil and remineralised GH+ osmosis water.
Avoid variations in conductivity and sudden water changes. Gentle stirring recommended.

To intensify the blue colouring, maintain stable, low conductivity and feed a varied diet rich in minerals. A mature tank rich in microfauna greatly increases the survival rate of juveniles.
The shrimp are carefully packaged in secure bags and placed in an insulated box with gel packs, depending on the season.
