Care Notes:
Provide stable, clean water with plenty of hiding spots such as moss, driftwood, and plants. Feed a varied diet of specialized shrimp foods, blanched vegetables, and encourage natural biofilm grazing.
Water Parameters:
💧 Temperature: 18–24°C (64–75°F)
💧 pH: 5.5–6.5
💧 GH: 4–6 dGH
💧 KH: 0–1 dKH
💧 TDS: 100–140 ppm
💧 Ammonia & Nitrite: 0 ppm
💧 Nitrate: Below 20 ppm
Feeding Tips:
Feed high-quality shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables, and biofilm. Remove uneaten food after 24 hours to maintain water quality.
Breeding Tips:
Red Snowflake Caridina breed readily in soft, stable water conditions. Provide hiding places for females, maintain high water quality, and feed protein-rich foods to condition breeders. Eggs hatch in roughly 28–30 days, with fry thriving on biofilm and micro foods before transitioning to standard shrimp foods.
Livestock Disclaimer:
All shrimp are sold unsexed and shipped as a mixed batch. We cannot guarantee specific sex ratios or individual selection. Please note that shrimp may display natural variation in size, color, and pattern. Minor differences from product photos are normal.
As with all live animals, some stress or colour loss may occur during shipping, but shrimp typically regain their full appearance once settled in. While we take every precaution to ensure safe delivery, we cannot be held responsible for losses due to improper acclimation or unsuitable tank conditions.
