Care notes
Vivid blue and white pattern. Same care as Crystal Red/Black Bee shrimp — requires RO water, low TDS, and precise parameters. Some grade variations: Blue King Kong, Blue Shadow Panda. High-value collector shrimp.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
