Midnight Blue Dwarf Shrimp 10+ Pack

Midnight blues are a stunning morph on the Blue Dream lines; you'll see that rich sapphire with patches of opaque black/ purple! 

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!
