The Fantasy Blue Velvet Shrimp is a beautiful blue Neocaridina variety displaying shades that can range from soft sky blue to deeper velvety blue tones. Its colouration often has a slightly translucent quality, giving it a delicate and elegant appearance in planted aquariums. Active and peaceful, it spends much of its time grazing on algae, biofilm, and other natural food sources found throughout the aquarium. Hardy and adaptable, it is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced shrimp keepers, and it breeds readily in stable freshwater conditions. Adults typically grow to about 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3 cm).
