Blue Bolt Shrimp
Live arrival guaranteed · Quarantined in Vancouver · Ships Monday–Wednesday
Caridina cantonensis — Blue Bolt: an ice-blue head dissolving into porcelain white, the most requested Taiwan bee in the hobby.
Blue Bolt is chronically undersupplied in Canada — most keepers have never had it in a tank, and the people who want it will travel and join waiting lists. If one shrimp makes you the destination for serious keepers in your region, it's this one.
