Blue Bolt Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis “Blue Bolt”) – Tank-Bred Elegance for Your Aquarium
SIZE: 1/2 – 1 Inch (Breeding Age)

Add a splash of serene beauty to your aquascape with the Blue Bolt Shrimp, one of the most visually stunning Caridina varieties available. With their shimmering gradient of icy blue to deep turquoise, these shrimp bring a sense of tranquility and elegance to any planted tank.

The Blue Bolt Caridina is known for its glowing blue coloration, which ranges from milky sky blue to intense electric sapphire. No two are exactly alike—some show a soft gradient across the body, while others exhibit intense solid hues. Their radiant appearance stands out beautifully against dark substrates and lush green plants, making them a prized addition for shrimp collectors and aquascapers alike.

These shrimp are tank-bred and raised under carefully controlled conditions to ensure they are healthy, vibrant, and well-acclimated for home aquariums. While Blue Bolts are considered moderately delicate, experienced hobbyists will find them to be rewarding and manageable with the proper soft water parameters.

Why Choose Blue Bolt Shrimp?

  • Breathtaking Coloration: From pale ice-blue to deep cobalt, their ethereal coloring offers an ever-changing, natural gradient that captivates the eye.

  • Ideal for Planted Aquascapes: Their graceful movement and soft colors complement live plants and driftwood-based scapes beautifully.

  • Ecosystem Support: Like all Caridina, Blue Bolts are active scavengers—cleaning up biofilm, detritus, and uneaten food while supporting tank cleanliness.

  • Carefully Selected Stock: At Shrimp Up Aquatics, we hand-select every Blue Bolt for vivid color, healthy size, and ideal patterning. Quality is our top priority.

Due to their sensitivity to water conditions, Blue Bolt Shrimp do best in established aquariums with stable, soft water. Hobbyists with experience in keeping Caridina species (such as Crystal Reds or Taiwan Bees) will find Blue Bolts a beautiful next step.

Bring calming color and quiet movement to your aquatic world—order your Blue Bolt Shrimp today and experience the living art of nature!

Blue Bolt Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis var. “Blue Bolt”), Tank-Bred

…. Well … received 10 blue bolts in good conditions … meaning they were all kicking … they have their own 5 gal conditioned tank … but I think they were way too young or small in size to be sold … out of ten … now I only have 4 still kicking n increased in size … 6 vanished … vanished that I could not even find their remains … and a note … the red n white cardinals are doing well … had 9 but now 7 … again could not find their remains … both tanks have no other fish but small snails …
