Stable water parameters are essential for their health and breeding success. Care Parameter Recommended Range Temperature 68–74°F (20–23°C) pH 6.0–6.8 Hardness (GH) 4–6 Hardness (KH) 0–2 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 120–160 ppm Minimum Tank Size 10 gallons Water: Use reverse osmosis (RO) water remineralized with a Caridina-specific mineral supplement (e.g. Bee Shrimp Mineral GH+) to achieve stable, soft, slightly acidic conditions.Substrate: Use a buffering shrimp substrate (e.g. ADA Amazonia or similar) to maintain low pH and KH naturally.Filtration: Sponge filters are ideal — gentle flow protects juveniles and promotes biofilm growth.Diet: Feed a balanced diet of high-quality shrimp food, algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional protein treats. Biofilm and mosses provide excellent natural grazing.Acclimatization: Upon arrival, drip acclimate your shrimp over 30–60 minutes before introducing them to your tank.
