The Blue Pearl shrimp is a very pretty shrimp species that shows its full potential on a substrate that is as dark (black) as possible. After transplanting, it often happens that the shrimp do not show their full color. Depending on the water conditions, this will return after a few days to weeks. The color also depends on the mood and attitude of the animals. The Blue Peal shrimp is very easy to keep and can be acclimated to a wide variety of water conditions, with easy reproduction.
