Product Parameters

Caridina Shrimp

Temperature: Keep it cozy, between 68-75°F (20-24°C).
pH Balance: Aim for a chill zone of 6.0-7.0.
General Hardness (GH): A comfy 4-6 on the GH scale.
Carbonate Hardness (KH): Keep it easy-breezy, 0-4 dKH.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Aim for 100-200 ppm, the sweet spot.
Ammonia: Zilch, nada, a big ol' zero!
Nitrate: Keep it under 10 ppm, the lower, the better.
Calcium: Some, but not too much—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.

Your Caridina crew will love you for maintaining these comfy conditions! 🦐💙

Direction

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