Water parameters

- Temperature: 15-25 ° C (ideal below 25 ° C to avoid thermal stress)

- ph: 5.8-7.5

- Total hardness (GH): 4 - 6th DGH

- Carbonate hardness (KH): 0 ° DKH

- Conductivity: About 80-200μs / inches; ; (Ideally 100-150)

Aquarium set-up

- Minimum volume: ≥10l, but recommended 20-30L to increase stability

- Composition of the group: Minimum 10-15 specimens for harmonious colonies

- Furniture: Mosks, dry leaves (eg catappa, oak) and woods; Useful for biofilms and for the dump period

- Lighting: Moderate, favors the formation of biofilm but reduces algae

- Filtration: Sponge filter or with pre-filter to protect fry

Power

- Base: Biofilm, algae, natural microorganisms

- Feed: Pellets / specific granules for caridine; Caloric supplements only 1-2 times / week

- Dry leaves: Oak, catappa - food source and tannins

- Blanched vegetables: Zucchini, spinach, nettle

- Proteins: Occasionally (Dafnie, Artemie)

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific, Gregario, Non-territorial

- Compatibility: Recommended monospecified tanks; They also live with peaceful snails; Not recommended fish and large crustaceans

Reproduction

- Direct development: The female door 15-30 eggs for 4-6 weeks

- Number of eggs: 15-30 for brood

- Incubation pause: about 4-6 weeks

- Favorable conditions: Mature water, stable temperature, low nitrate and nitrite values

Additional notes

- Sensitivity: Very sensitive to nitrates, nitrites and chemicals; Requires clean water

- 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

- During the wetsuit: Extremely vulnerable, natural shelters are needed

-Genetic selection: The A-S degree indicates high quality of the pattern; Crosses with other lines can compromise aesthetic characteristics

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.
