Fantasy blues are a great beginner aquarium shrimp and they have amazing coloration. They are one of the hardiest shrimp we keep in the shrimp room.
Despite the beautiful appearance of fantasy blues, the genetics behind the color can be pretty confusing. Blue Dream is the name most hobbyists use for all shrimp with a deep blue coloration. While most blue dream pet shrimp look similar, they come from a number of different genetic lines and backgrounds. Our blue dreams are a fantastic blue color and breed fairly true. They are almost solid blue and black in coloration while some do show the rili pattern.
Whether you buy imported or USA-bred blues, they both have amazing coloration. Our imported fantasy blues are usually larger. Our USA Bred fantasy blue shrimp average in size around half of an inch or smaller. The USA Bred shrimp acclimate better and have a higher survival rate than imported shrimp. Either option, you will not be disappointed with Flip Aquatics shrimp because we guarantee their health.
Common Name: Fantasy blue dream, blue shrimp, blue fantasy shrimp, blueberry shrimp, Deep Blue Shrimp, blue dream shrimp, blue sapphire shrimp,
Scientific Name: Neocaridina Davidi 'fantasy blue dream'
Genus: Neocaridina
Blue dreams show the best color while being kept on a black substrate. Why this occurs is because shrimp in general try to blend into their environment. Therefore, blue shrimp will darken in an attempt to have natural camouflage. On white substrate, they will try to bleach their color and be more transparent. It is ideal to keep blue dreams on a darker substrate due to fact.
The care for blue dreams is typical of most Neocaridina species. They do not require special attention and tend to be accepting of a multitude of water parameters. Although, we suggest keeping parameters close to what we keep them in:

I ordered these fantasy blue dream shrimp over a month ago, and they have been doing great! I haven't lost a single shrimp after placing them in their new tank, and several females already have eggs. The customer service was great at helping me fix my order when I mistakenly put in the wrong address. Would definitely recommend!
All shrimp came alive and will be monitoring them for the next few days but so far so good. Great packaging by Shalin!
Only had 1 DOA. All other shrimp looked healthy and are thriving in their new home
