Please read thoroughly and in its entirety to protect the animal and your wallet.
Up for sale are some of my Blue Bolt Caridina shrimp.
I'm looking to thin out my colony a little bit and only have about 20 shrimp available for sale
Asking $10 per shrimp. Would prefer selling 2 groups of 10.
Am not a breed for profit seller, just another hobbyist that has too many shrimp (what a problem, ikr)
* Because I know people will ask...
Size: Approximately 1/4 - 1/2 inch juveniles
Grade: I bought them years back as "Extreme" due to the blue running from head to tail. I personally dislike grading, because its become somewhat ambiguous and one persons this is not always the others that.
Please refer to my photos as an indication of the color and quality. Photos are taken using an iPhone 12 Pro. No filters, enhancements, or edits have been used. I see these super blue shrimp on the internet all the time, but clearly you can see contrast, saturation, etc have been adjusted to enhance the blue color. Not a true representation of the actual color.
Please note:
Like many other Caridina shrimp, the intensity of the color changes throughout the day. Blue bolts can be brillant blue one moment and a little more drab another.
In my experience, darker substrate brings out their color once they are settled in. When stressed they can be light blue to almost white. I just want to make sure folks understand this because in the past people have sent me messages like "hey, they're not the blue in the photo" then a week later "nevermind". I know some places feed color enhancing food to try to keep the blue, but I personally don't think it helps. Therefore, I don't feed any sort of color enhancing food as a personal preference.
** My schedule currently is pretty restrictive so I am requesting that you meet me in Puyallup for the sale.
*** Additional info:
My TDS is approximately 100
Tap water re-mineralized with SaltyShrimp - Bee Shrimp Mineral GH+
Temp: 78F
Food: Shrimp King Protein
Substrate: Fluval Stratum
If you have and questions please feel free to ask. I would like to ensure that the animals are going to get the proper care they deserve.
Shrimp will be bagged using breather bags.
Please DM.
