<h1 style="text-align: center;">Blue Dream Shrimp<b></b>
</h1>
<p>Blue Dream Shrimp also known as Fantasy Blue Dream Shrimp are a great beginner aquarium shrimp and they have amazing coloration. They are one of the hardiest shrimp we keep in our shrimp room. </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 0.875rem;">Despite the beautiful appearance of fantasy blues, the genetics behind the color can be pretty confusing. Blue Dream is the name most hobbyists use for all shrimp with a deep blue coloration. While most blue dream pet shrimp look similar, they come from a number of different genetic lines and backgrounds. Our blue dreams are a fantastic blue color and their line comes from Chocolate Shrimp which breed fairly true. They are almost solid blue and black in coloration while some can show the rili pattern.</span></p>
<p><span>Whether you buy imported or USA-bred blues, they both have amazing coloration. Our imported fantasy blues are usually larger. Our USA Bred fantasy blue shrimp average in size around half of an inch or smaller. The USA Bred shrimp acclimate better and have a higher survival rate than imported shrimp. Either option, you will not be disappointed with Flip Aquatics shrimp because we guarantee their health. </span></p>

<h2>For Best Coloration of Blue Dreams</h2>
<p>Blue dreams show the best color while being kept on a black substrate. Why this occurs is because shrimp in general try to blend into their environment. Therefore, blue shrimp will darken in an attempt to have natural camouflage. On white substrate, they will try to bleach their color and be more transparent. It is ideal to keep blue dreams on a darker substrate due to fact.<br><br>The care for blue dreams is typical of most Neocaridina species. They do not require special attention and tend to be accepting of a multitude of water parameters. Although, we suggest keeping parameters close to what we keep them in:</p>
