Blue Jelly Shrimp (Neocaridina sp.)

Jelly shrimp carry a translucent, low-pigment version of whatever color line they're bred from, which is exactly the appeal — the blue jelly grade has just enough color to read clearly without losing the see-through quality that makes Neocaridina look almost ghostly under tank light. Easy, peaceful, and a prolific breeder once settled in.
