    Water Parameter

    Caridina Shrimp

    • Ammonia: Zilch, nada, a big ol' zero!
    • Nitrate: Keep it under 10 ppm, the lower, the better.
    • Calcium: Some, but not too muchβ€”20-50 ppm works.
    • Magnesium: A touch, 8-15 ppm, for that perfect balance.
    • Copper: Nope, these shrimpies are not copper fans.
    • Chlorine/Chloramine: None, thank you!
    • Temperature Fluctuations: Keep it smooth, gradual changes only.

    Direction

    1. Prepare Containers: Set up two containers old water and new tank water.
    2. Drip Acclimation: Use tubing for a slow drip, letting tank water gradually mix with the shrimp water.
    3. Duration: Drip acclimate for 1-2 hours
    4. Temperature Match: Ensure acclimation water matches tank temperature.
    5. Parameter Check: Test pH, GH, and KH; adjust if needed.
    6. Observation: Watch shrimp for signs of stress.
    7. Transfer: Gently move shrimp to the tank; discard acclimation water.
    8. Post-Acclimation: Monitor behavior; ensure normal activities.
    9. Quarantine: Consider a short quarantine period.
