Scientific species name
Pinocchio Shrimp Caridina Gracilirostris
Interestingly these Pinocchio shrimp are peaceful and social, making them an excellent addition to any community tank. They thrive in groups and get on well with other non -aggressive species
Pinocchio shrimp can easily be kept with other Caridinia shrimp as well as Neocaridina shrimp. There is no risk of crossbreeding between caridina and neocaridina shrimp. A must for every tank!
Watch as they scuttle a forage around the tank, providing endless entertainment with their lively antics!
These Shrimp are diligent cleaners, helping to keep your tank free of algae and detritus, some even say they clean up better than the amazing Amano as they will eat hair algae, something the Amano are not so keen on!!

Our recommendations:
The shrimp do well in a sizeable colony of between 10-20 shrimp. This is to ensure there is a good mixture of sexes within the colony. And the shrimp is more active once in numbers.
Usual maintenance: Feed the shrimp at least three times a week, with a wide range of foods. At Shrimp Corner, we feed our shrimp with Vegetable Shrimp Bars , which is plant base protein containing seaweed, providing lean and optimal nutrients for shrimp. And once a week we feed our shrimp with Protein Bars, this is a protein base food to increase the growth rate of our shrimp, thus shrimp breed faster & females can carry more eggs. All of these foods were developed by us, over 10 years of breeding experience, we have bred thousands of shrimp
