Blue Base Boa

Caridina cantonensis

£10.00 per shrimp

Boas are the top of our breeding tree and the line our Black Galaxy Fishbones come from. A blue base gives them their deep teal and near-black mottling, laid over a rich yellow-gold shell, and the pattern is different on every single one. These are a serious Taiwan bee line and want the conditions to match: soft, acidic water over active substrate, held stable, in a mature tank. We keep only a handful at a time, so numbers are always very limited.
