Blue Velvet shrimp should be kept in a well established shrimp only tank with plenty of biofilms for them to graze on. They can also tolerate a wide range of water parameters, as long as your tank is stable and free of ammonia and nitrite. Nitrate should be under 20ppm. Feed only 2-3 times a week, make sure to remove uneaten food after 2 hours.
If you keep them in a community tank, make sure it is heavily planted so the shrimps have enough hiding places. Even small fishes like tetras and guppies will harm the shrimp. Otocinclus is the only compatible fish that will not eat shrimp.
