Scientific name: Caridina serrata var. ‘Tangerine Tiger’
Shrimp Care for Caridina:
Water Temp:18-24C (we keep temps at 21-22 Celsius)
PH 5.8-6.8 (5.2-5.6)
TDS 100-180 (170-190) We do weekly TDS readings and do water changes when we have a TDS reading of 180)
Diet:
NatHab offers a range of Botanicals (Cones & Leaves) and food products (Fruit-, Nettle-, and Moringa Mix plus Bee Pollen) that have been tested and proven.
Shrimp will also graze on the biofilm that accumulate on the Botanicals and build-up of algae within your tank. We recommend that you only clean the front face of your tank, leaving the other areas for algae to accumulate.
It is very important that you do not overfeed your tank inhabitants.
Acclimating:
We do not recommend the ‘Drop-and-Go’ method but rather ‘Drip’ method whereby you mix the tank water of their new home with the water they have arrived in. Use airline tubing and make a loose knot in it. Suck on the one end to start the water flow. Tighten the knot so that you have a drop per second rate. Let the process continue to the point where you have 50/50 ratio. (new water/water it arrived in). Let them stand for maybe another hour or so before you net them out and add them to their new home. The shrimp will regain their color as they settle in.
