Blue Jelly Shrimp

About me: Hello, I am a blue jelly shrimp. While I am very easy to keep, please check and keep an eye on your copper levels. It is also important to keep an eye on contaminants in lettuce leaves and other vegetables. Therefore, you should always scald these beforehand. Besides lettuce and other vegetables I also like to eat algae and help to keep the aquarium clean!

For me to feel comfortable, I should be kept in a group of at least 10 animals. However, you should be careful with any shrimp of my species, we like to interbreed with each other
Better not keep me together with ornamental fish, because they see me as a tasty snack.
To show off my color, the bottom should preferably be sand or aquarium gravel.
