Pure Red Line Crystal Red Shrimp – Combo 10

Are you in search of Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina Cantonensis) for your aquarium? These stunning shrimps are among the most sought-after Caridina species in the hobby, thanks to their striking red and white coloration. They’re often likened to candy canes with legs due to their eye-catching appearance!

Crystal Red Shrimp are dwarf freshwater shrimps originating from Taiwan. Thriving in planted tanks with ample shelter and hiding spots, they feel most at home in environments that mimic their natural habitat. Consider our Aquarium Plant Variety Packs to create an ideal setting for your shrimp.

To ensure the well-being of your Crystal Red Shrimp, it’s crucial to maintain specific water parameters. They prefer soft and acidic water conditions, and they’re sensitive to abrupt water changes. Adhering to our recommended tank water parameters can promote successful growth and breeding.

Feeding Crystal Red Shrimp is relatively simple, as they require minimal supplementation if your tank contains sufficient algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter. We suggest feeding every other day with high-quality shrimp food to maintain a balanced diet and enhance vibrancy, especially for higher-grade specimens.

Ideal for planted and community tanks, Crystal Red Shrimp coexist peacefully with companions such as Kuhli Loaches, Corydoras, and other dwarf shrimp.

When purchasing from us, expect Crystal Red Shrimp shipped as juveniles, measuring around 1/4 inch in length. These shrimp typically breed in five to six-week cycles, making them excellent options for breeding enthusiasts, provided they’re kept in the correct water parameters.

Crystal Red Shrimp grades range from translucent red to pure white, with our stock spanning from SSS grade (the highest) to C grade (the lowest).
