The Blue Diamond Shrimp is a deep, dark blue Neocaridina variety prized for its strong, uniform colouration that often appears almost navy or ink-blue under aquarium lighting. Its solid colouring gives it a more “premium” look compared to lighter blue morphs, and it stands out beautifully against green plants and light substrates. Active and peaceful, it constantly grazes on biofilm, algae, and leftover food, helping maintain a clean aquarium environment. Like all Neocaridina shrimp, it is hardy, adaptable, and beginner-friendly, and it breeds readily in stable freshwater aquariums. Adults typically grow to about 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3 cm).
