Everything you need to keep Blue Jelly Shrimp healthy in a South African setup.
A minimum 20L aquarium suits Blue Jelly Shrimp. Match décor to natural behaviour — plants, rockwork, or open swimming room as needed.
Keep pH 6.5–7.5 and 20–26°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Blue Jelly Shrimp is omnivore — biofilm, algae, prepared foods. Feed a varied diet appropriate for invertebrates — quality flakes, pellets, or frozen foods sized to the mouth.
Blue Jelly Shrimp is generally peaceful, prolific. Observe during feeding and at lights-out for true temperament.
Pair with similarly sized peaceful, prolific tankmates in invertebrates. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
Breeding notes for Blue Jelly Shrimp vary by line and water chemistry — ask your local shop about proven pairs in SA.
