These hardy dwarf shrimp thrive in planted aquariums with stable water parameters and make excellent additions to established tanks.

Blue Bolts prefer temperatures between 16–24°C, slightly acidic to neutral water, and plenty of hiding spots among plants and hardscape. They're peaceful community members that breed readily in suitable conditions, making them rewarding for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Each shrimp is carefully selected and shipped live with care to ensure arrival in excellent condition.
