Shrimp are a popular choice for both beginner and experienced aquarium enthusiasts due to their adaptability and ease of care. These vibrant, social, and peaceful shrimp can cohabit with various other shrimp species, including Crystal Shrimp, Taiwan Bee, and Amano Shrimp. Known for their prolific breeding, Cherry Shrimp add both colour and activity to any tank.
Important Considerations for Colour Maintenance
To maintain the distinct coloration of Shrimp, it is advisable to keep different colour varieties separate to prevent interbreeding. Interbreeding can result in brown or wild-type offspring by the second generation. Some colour combinations may not produce wild-types but can still alter the intensity and hue over time. Notable combinations include:
- Orange Sakura + Orange Rili
- Bloody Mary + Black Rose + Chocolate
- Blue Jelly + Blue Rili + Blue Velvet + Fantasy Blue
For consistent colour maintenance across generations, we recommend not mixing these varieties.
Ideal Water Parameters for most shrimp
- pH: 6.0-7.8
- Temperature: 19-23°C (66-73°F)
- TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): 120-250
However if buying Caradina - Crystal Reds, Crystal Blacks, Kong Kong, Blue King Kong they prefer a TDS of 110-180
Note: While shrimp are highly adaptable and can thrive in a wide range of water conditions, they do best within the parameters listed above. They can live in most tap water conditions, making them versatile and resilient inhabitants of your aquarium.
