The Sapphire Shrimp is a beautiful deep blue Neocaridina variety valued for its rich, dark blue colouration that can range from cobalt to almost navy blue. Its intense colours create a striking contrast against plants, driftwood, and lighter substrates, making it a standout addition to planted aquariums. Active and peaceful, it spends its days grazing on algae, biofilm, and leftover food while helping to keep the aquarium clean. Like other Neocaridina shrimp, it is hardy, adaptable, and breeds readily in stable freshwater conditions. Adults typically grow to about 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3 cm).
