The Cobalt Shrimp is a striking Neocaridina variety known for its deep, metallic blue colouration and peaceful nature. These shrimp add a bold splash of colour to planted and nano aquariums, standing out beautifully against green plants, mosses, and natural substrates. Constant grazers, they help control algae and biofilm while bringing charm and movement to the tank.
Hardy, active, and beginner?friendly, Cobalt Shrimp thrive in stable, well?planted aquariums and breed readily when conditions are right. Each shrimp is carefully selected for colour intensity and health, then packed with care and shipped quickly across the UK with expert guidance included.
