Blue Bolts are a caridina shrimp that are all blue. Medium grade will have some white/light blue coloration, especially towards the tail. High grades will be Extreme Blue Bolts, mostly/completely covered in a striking blue color. Blue Bolts are one of the more common caridina shrimp, and are quite easy to keep if your parameters are dialed in.
Our HOMEBREDBlue Bolt Shrimp are kept in the following parameters:
GH: 5-6
KH: 0
PH: 5.5-6.5
Temp: 68-74°
These require higher quality aqua soil (We use ADA Amazonia) with RO and GH+ minerals. They will not be happy in regular tap water, and do not like tanks above 80°.
Well packed healthy vibrant shrimp, more active immediately than shrimp from the LFS after a week. All arrived alive. Will buy more when weather permits.
Fast shipping, all arrived well and healthy. Like their colors.
This is my second order and they are perfect. The seller is quick, responsive and you can tell she cares about the shrimp. I will be ordering again soon for my second shrimp tank.
I ordered ten and I think I counted a dozen! All alive and well and enjoying their new place. Can’t wait for babies and a gorgeous colony.
Left my review but here's some photos. Awesome shrimp!
These shrimp came in looking great! No deaths and even a couple extra :)
Shrimp looked to be pure blue bolt with no yellow or black spots on the carapace that would indicate they had been crossbred with anything else.
These are a really beautiful blue. They were cheaper and better quality than the other blue bolts I've purchased from a bigger online supplier that ships and quarantines the shrimp instead of raising them. They are bright blue over most of their body. Really good deal for the quality!
These came in packaged very well (as usual) in great condition. The coloring on them is spectacular and they are very healthy. I have seen lesser quality Blue Bolts go for higher prices so the value is great. I cannot recommend these enough, they look great on black substrate!!
