The colony
Straight from the tank.
These are actual shrimp from this colony — no stock photos, no borrowed images.
A small home colony of Blue Dream Neocaridina — hardy, easy-care, and about as blue as freshwater shrimp get. No shipping stress, just a quick local handoff.
This colony is kept in a planted, cycled tank with stable parameters — no rushed grow-outs, no shortcuts. Blue Dream is a Neocaridina davidi variant, so they're forgiving of normal tap-water conditions once acclimated, and they breed readily in a healthy setup.
They're active grazers: expect to see them picking over driftwood, plant leaves, and biofilm most of the day. Peaceful with fish, snails, and other Neocaridina colors, though colors will interbreed over generations if you keep more than one variety in the same tank.
Prices reflect what similar Blue Dream colonies typically go for — you're paying for the shrimp, not shipping or packaging.
Local pickup only — cash or a payment app at handoff, whichever's easiest for you. Need a different quantity, or want to check on culls? Just ask when you reach out.
No shipping, no packaging stress on the shrimp — just a short meetup in Edmond or Guthrie.
Message with how many shrimp you'd like and whether Edmond or Guthrie works better for you.
I'll confirm availability and we'll settle on a day and a public meeting spot or my location.
A clean jar or bag with a lid works fine. I'll bag them in tank water to keep the transition easy.
Drip acclimate over 20–30 minutes before adding them to your tank, same as any Neocaridina shrimp.
