Blue Dream Blue Dream is one of the most popular shrimps. They have bright blue color when compared to Blue Diamond having darker blue color. CARING - Blue Dream is easy to care fo r as they can adapt to a wide range of water parameters, they can be kept in either soft or hard water. We recommend keeping them in hard water with a gH of at least 5 for them to show their best color. The aquarium should be fully cycled before introducing any shrimp. There should be no trace of Ammonia and Nitrite, Nitrate under 25ppm. A weekly water change of 10-20% is suggested to keep the nitrate low. Feed only 2-3 times a week as overfeeding will cause shrimp death. BREEDING - Breeding Blue Dream is fairly easy, if there is a male and female in the aquarium, they will breed. Female shrimp will carry the eggs for about 30 days until they are hatched to the miniature size of their parents. It is important to have a well-established aquarium in order for the shrimplets to survive as they can only consume biofilms until they grow older. We recommend only keeping one strain of Neocaridina shrimp per tank because of crossbreeding, which will revert the offspring back to wild color.Water Parameters: pH 6.5 - 7.5 gH 6 - 12 kH 0 -10 TDS 150-300 Temperature 18-28°C For further information about tank setup, caring, breeding,...
