If you've got a freshwater aquarium, adding Blue Velvet Shrimp is a must-have! The cerulean blue coloration of these fish lends an air of elegance and serenity to any aquarium. Your tank will be sparkling clean after having one of these shrimp in it, and they're a hoot to watch! They are extremely active and have a high rate of reproduction.

In most cases, we ship young adult shrimp that have already reached sexual maturity. It's possible to keep these shrimp in any freshwater aquarium, as they're freshwater shrimp. Many people use them in large aquariums for waste management and algae control, and they're especially popular in planted tanks and community tanks.

It's safe to say that Blue Velvet Shrimp can adapt to living in almost any freshwater aquarium. As long as they feel at home in the tank, some of the younger shrimp have yet to reach their full potential and will develop a bright blue color. The brightest blues can be achieved with lower intensity lighting and a dark substrate.
