Blue Bolt Shrimp
Caridina cf Cantonensis
Community - Blue bolt shrimp like soft and slightly acidic water
They prefer to be kept in numbers as it will make them more confident to remain out in the open.
Current Size – 1cm - 2cm
Adult Length – 2.5cm
Temperature Range – 20 - 29°C
pH Range – 6.2 – 7.8
Special Requirements - They have specific demands when it comes to water values and are especially sensitive to bad water quality. Even the slightest bit of ammonia or nitrite can quickly kill them and nitrates should always be kept low as well. Test the water very regularly to make sure everything is still okay! Also do weekly water changes, but make sure the new water matches the old to prevent deadly fluctuations.
Tanks Mates and Compatibility – When it comes to dwarf shrimp, always be careful with tankmates, especially if you're looking to breed. Almost all fish species have an appetite for (baby) shrimp so it's a good idea to stick to just peaceful inverts.
Feeding – They are an omnivore, eating algae, detritus and left over food
