Blue Steel Shrimp are a type of Caridina that are renowned for their striking blue coloration and unique steel-like sheen. Blue Steel Shrimp bring a touch of elegance to any freshwater aquarium, with their vibrant hues standing out beautifully against plants and decorations. Since Blue Steel Shrimp are a Caridina, they are slightly more sensitive to water conditions, making them a rewarding choice for shrimp keepers who enjoy a bit of a challenge. Blue Steel Shrimp thrive in well-maintained tanks with stable water parameters and make great companions for peaceful fish and other shrimp species.
Blue Steel Shrimp are natural algae eaters, helping to keep your aquarium clean and balanced. Their active and peaceful nature adds life to your tank without causing any disruption to other inhabitants. As Blue Steel Shrimp forage and explore their environment, they contribute to the overall health and vibrancy of your aquatic ecosystem.
This was 1/2 of my order placed and the blue steel shrimp were why I ordered from flip aquatics. No local shops carry caridina shrimp so I was nervous of buying live animals and having them shipped to me. The package was well packed and arrived great! The shrimp were thriving except for 2. I wasn’t disappointed as some things we cannot control. Drip acclimated to a tank that had finished cycling(water parameters were checked). They started dying one by one. A week later they all died and only then did it occur to me to check water parameters again. I had an ammonia spike and needless to say, it was my fault the shrimp died. It was a disaster on my end. Even so, flip aquatics gets a 5 star because they arrived alive except for 2, as I am impressed with how well they ship and package your order. I already placed an order for deep blue bolts and can’t wait to receive them. Thanks flip aquatics!
