Aquarium set-up

- Substrate: Any inert fund; Preference for well-ripe environments

- Filtration: Filter with moderate flow, preferably with pre-filter to avoid aspiration of the specimens

Power

Multi-tenant caridine is omnivorous and very active in food research:

- feeds filamentous algae, biofilm, organic debris

- welcomes specific feed for caridines and bottom fish

- like blanched vegetables like zucchini, spinach and carrots

- useful integration with small amounts of protein foods (Dafnie, Artemie) once or twice a week

It is important not to overdo the food: tends to subtract the food even to other aquarium inhabitants

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific and very active during the day

- Compatibility: Excellent with small peaceful fish, other caridins and snails

- Social attitude: He lives better in groups; Lonely can be more dodgy

- Behavioral notes: Several jumper, so we recommend a well-covered aquarium

Reproduction

- Reproductive procedure: ANFIDROMA - Reproduction requires a larval stage in brackish water

- Eggs: The females carry up to 2000 small eggs for brood

- Development: The larvae must be transferred to brackish water to complete the vital cycle

-In the sweet aquarium: It does not reproduce successfully; Necessary specialist care for breeding in brackish water

Additional notes

- Algh controland: considered among the most effective caridines for the control of filamentous green algae

- Muta: During the suit is vulnerable; Fundamental hiding places

- Copper sensitivity: Like many invertebrates, it is copper sensitive; Avoid products containing this metal or if it is necessary to use them in the tub Dosing them carefully avoiding overdoves

- Resistance: Very robust and long-lived compared to other caridins

If you are looking for an excellent ally for your aquarium maintenance, this caridine is for you.
But remember, for a varied and balanced diet it is recommended to integrate the power supply-free feed for caridine.

Shipping kit in the purchase of shrimp and snails

Expeditions of live animals (shrimp, snails, crustaceans and other invertebrates) are carried out only Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to guarantee optimal transport conditions and minimize the times of stock.

For each order containing live animals it is mandatory to add the shipping kit, designed to ensure maximum protection during transport. The kit includes:

• Polystyrene container with high thermal insulation
• Double protective bag with oxygenation
• Thermal warmer (included in the coldest months)

Important: Acquarioshop.it is not responsible for any delays in delivery caused by the courier, adverse weather conditions or other external events not attributable to The Ark of Zin Fabio.

Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the compatibility between the water of our breeding and that of your aquarium, since we do not know the specific chemical-physical parameters of each domestic tank. For this reason, we recommend a gradual acclimatization of at least an hour, introducing small amounts of water of the aquarium in the shipping bag every 5-10 minutes. During this process, it is recommended immerse the bag in the aquarium to allow a correct stabilization of the temperature before the final release.
