Name: Red Bolt Shrimp
Scientific species name: Caridina Cantonesis
Grade for sale: As in photo, however at size 1-1.2cm the shrimp will not show much colouration yet, until they've reached their maturity.
These red bolt shrimp are from our high end red galaxy tiger/ red advance nanashi shrimp so don't be surprise if in future, they can throw out some nice galaxy tiger shrimp :)
Water parameters:
All these caridina species prefer aquarium with active soil. Active Soil is a substrate that buffer the Ph to be between 5 to 6.5, creating a thriving environment for freshwater shrimp species, especially for caridina shrimp. The recommended parameters are below
PH: 5.5 to 6.5
GH: 4-6
KH: 0 – 1
Nitrate: 0-20ppm for best results.
Temperature: can be anywhere between 20-23 degree but has to be stable.
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. Once a week we feed our shrimp with Protein Bars, this is a protein base food to increase the growth rate of our shrimp, the 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
On a serious note, do not feed shrimp with any foods contain copper.
