Caridina shrimp aren’t quite as hardy as Neocaridina shrimp, so you may need to be a little more intentional about cultivating and maintaining ideal water parameters. If you can provide them with the following parameters you will see good results.
- Temperature: 20 to 25 degrees
- pH: 6.0 to 6.8
- kH: 0 – 1 dKH
- gH: 3 – 6 dGH
- TDS: 100-150
