The Blue Panda Shrimp is a selectively bred Caridina shrimp from the Taiwan Bee lineage, known for its striking blue and white patterning that often forms bold “panda-like” contrasts on the body. Each individual can show slightly different distribution of blue patches, making them highly sought after by breeders and collectors. Active but more delicate than Neocaridina shrimp, it spends much of its time grazing on biofilm and exploring mosses and hardscape in mature aquariums. Like other advanced Caridina shrimp, it requires very stable, soft, slightly acidic water conditions to thrive and maintain strong colouration. Adults typically grow to about 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3 cm).
