Breeding Information
Blue Dream Shrimp are prolific breeders when kept in a stable and healthy environment. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and within a few weeks, fully formed juvenile shrimp emerge. To protect young shrimp, provide plenty of dense plants like moss or hiding spots. Juveniles inherit the vibrant blue hues of their parents, helping your shrimp colony grow beautifully.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many Blue Dream Shrimp should I start with?
A: A group of 10-15 shrimp is recommended to establish a healthy, active colony. Larger groups encourage natural behaviors and breeding.
Q: Can Blue Dream Shrimp survive in a tank without plants?
A: While they can survive without plants, live plants offer hiding spots, food sources, and improved water quality, making them highly beneficial for shrimp.
Q: What’s the lifespan of Blue Dream Shrimp?
A: Blue Dream Shrimp typically live 1–2 years with proper care and stable water conditions.
Q: How often should I feed my Blue Dream Shrimp?
A: Feed small amounts 1–2 times per day. Avoid overfeeding as it can lead to water quality issues.
Q: How do I acclimate my shrimp when they arrive?
A: Gradually acclimate your shrimp to your tank by floating the bag in the tank for 30 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag over the course of 1–2 hours before releasing the shrimp.
Q: Do Blue Dream Shrimp eat algae?
A: Yes, Blue Dream Shrimp are excellent algae grazers and help maintain a clean tank, but they should also be provided with a balanced diet.
Q: What happens if I mix Blue Dream Shrimp with other Neocaridina species?
A: Mixing Blue Dream Shrimp with other Neocaridina varieties can result in interbreeding, which may dilute the vivid blue coloration over generations.

Cherry Shrimp Canada was a breeze to deal with. the order process was simple, the shrimps arrived lightning fast and were packaged very well. Did not lose any! I will be back for more!
Colour is beautiful, they are hard to see sometimes but when you do they are so stunningly dark blue. Very happy !
Shipped on a Monday and arrived on Tuesday. All alive and even got a bonus shrimp! The colours are bright and the shrimp are very active. Would definitely order again!
Absolutely love my 6 Blue Dream Shrimp. They arrived alive. I spent the extra money to have them overnight shipped but they didn't make it to me overnight. They sat in a purolator warehouse for 4 days. Thankfully all was well when they did arrive. I'll be purchasing more Shrimp but I won't waste the extra cash on the overnight. Shame on purolator for not delivering on the weekends. It's been 2 weeks and everybody is doing well and happy. No babies yet but I'm sure it will happen. THANK YOU CHERRY SHRIMP CANADA!
Beautiful colour. Good size. Active and fun to look for and watch. The order came quickly. Will order again.
