🦐 Golden Steel Caridina Shrimp Care

Aspect Recommended Range / Practice Notes
Tank Size Minimum 10 gallons Larger tanks provide better stability for sensitive species.
Temperature 20–24 °C (68–76 °F) Avoid fluctuations; use a heater if room temp is unstable.
pH 5.8–6.8 Acidic water is essential; neutral or alkaline will harm them.
GH (General Hardness) 4–6 dGH Use remineralized RO water for consistency.
KH (Carbonate Hardness) 0–1 dKH Near-zero KH prevents pH swings.
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) 100–150 ppm Monitor with a TDS meter; stability is more important than exact value.
Substrate Active buffering soil (e.g., ADA Amazonia) Buffers pH and supports plant growth.
Filtration Sponge filter or gentle HOB with guard Prevents fry from being sucked in; maintains clean water.
Lighting Low–moderate (6–8 hrs/day) Supports plants and biofilm without excessive algae.
Diet Shrimp-specific food, biofilm, blanched veg, occasional protein Feed sparingly; remove uneaten food to avoid pollution.
Breeding Females carry eggs ~28 days Fry are highly sensitive; moss and cover improve survival.
Tankmates Peaceful fish or shrimp-only Avoid aggressive or large species.
Maintenance Weekly 10–20% water changes Always match parameters when adding new water.
