Blue Jellies always knock my socks off.
I love that pale blue with the occasional red or tiger stripe splash. Just a lot of enjoyment in a little package.
These little guys are wonderful in the planted aquarium and will readily breed when ample food and shelter are available. They love to pick at algae and tiny microflora and grow about at least 3/4 to about an inch—females are bigger.
Average purchase size is 1/2 inch or so.
Dwarf Shrimp are best for peaceful community tanks with lots of tiny hiding spaces. You'll notice they will be a lot more active and display brighter coloring when they feel safe. Heavily plant your aquarium for best breeding!
- Shrimp are not great with nippy or carnivorous fish such as Angelfish, Cichlids, Loaches.
- Otocinclus, Corydoras, Plecos, Tetras, Guppies, smaller Rasboras, and Celestial Danios are all great tank mates!
- Females will be slightly larger than males, and will display stronger coloring.
- These will come in a mix of sizes, coloration, and sex ratios are not guaranteed. You WILL, however, receive both sexes!
- Ten+ indicates that you will receive an extra just in case of any accidents during shipment. Only ten are covered by the Live Arrival Guarantee.
Neocaridina are among the hardiest Dwarf shrimp species; nevertheless, you should take great care to cycle your tank well, and avoid ammonia and nitrate/nitrite spikes. Heavily planting your tank will help with this!

All the shrimp arrived happy and healthy and acclimated very well. They shipped super fast and were packed with styrofoam insulation in the box. I did purchase the extra heat pack. I received 12 healthy shrimp. Two of them look like red rili shrimp. I guess the blue jelly shrimp lineage originated from red rili shrimp, so it makes sense you could get some.
The color of the shrimp in general are paler than in the pictures, most of them are males and juveniles so maybe they will get darker as they mature. I deducted one star. Otherwise I was very happy with my order and would order shrimp again. If you are looking for blue shrimp, you might want to consider the Blue Dream shrimp instead.
Not one of the blue jellies I ordered are blue. Every single one is clear with varying degrees of red on the body. Honestly they all look like red rilli or cherry culls. I give 2 stars instead of 1 because they are all lively and healthy.
Once again Cass and the family at Glass Grown Aquatics have outdone themselves! I'm an avid customer and have purchased many a shrimp from here! These cuties came healthy and happy ready to explore their new 40 gallon!

Beautiful, and super healthy. They were a great addition to my colony.
