- Common names: Red Pinto Shrimp, Pinto Red A-S

- Family: Atyidae

- Origin: Advanced selection of the Taiwan Bee line (Caridina Cf. Cantonensis); obtained by crossing Taiwan Bee with other Pinto varieties to obtain high chromatic quality

- Adult dimensions: 2.5-3.8cm (about 1-1.5 ")

- Coloring: Redheaded red; Well marked white patterns, generally under the abdomen or as side bands, with limited spots on the head

-Life expectation: About 1-2 years

Water parameters

- Temperature: 16-24 ° C (optimal 20-22 ° C)

- ph: 5.5-6.8, slightly stable acid water

- Total hardness (GH): 4-6 ° DGH

- Carbonate hardness (KH): 0-4 ° DKH

- Conductivity: 100-200μs / cm, excellent between 100-120μs / cm

Aquarium set-up

- Minimum volume: 10L, 20-30L recommended for greater stability

- Composition of the group: 10-15 specimens to reduce stress and favor natural behavior

- Furniture: Rich in mosses (eg taxiphyllum), woods, dry leaves catappa / oak; Promotes biofilm and offers shelters during the suit

- Lighting: Moderate, sufficient for the natural development of biofilm

- Filtration: Sponge filter or sweet flow with pre-filter, essential for the safety of the fry

- Heater: Optional, useful only if the temperature drops below 18 ° C

Power

- Nutritional base: Biofilm, algae, microorganisms in the tank

- Feed: Pellets or specific granules for caridine, with occasional protein integrations (2-3 times a week)

- Blanched vegetables: Zucchini, spinach, nettle, carrots

- Dry leaves: Catappa, oak for tannins and natural food

- Animal protein: Dafnie or Artemie administered in moderation

Note: administer small quantities and remove any residues within a few hours to not compromise water quality.

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific, Gregario and non-territorial

- Compatibility: Ideal in monospecific tanks or with peaceful snails; avoid even small fish that can prey fry

Reproduction

- Type of development: Direct - the females carry 15-40 eggs under the abdomen for 20-40 days

- Number of eggs: Between 15 and 40 depending on the grade and sex

- Ideal conditions: Mature water, stable and with low presence of nitrates; Dedicated or compartmented tanks

Additional notes

- Sensitivity: High to nitrates, nitrites and chemicals. Needed efficient biological filtering and regular changes

- 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

- Muta: Critical phase; Guarantee natural hiding and stable water to avoid stress or mortality

- Genetic selection: The A-S grade represents a high selection; Involuntary crosses can degrade the pattern. To maintain aesthetic quality, it is advisable to select the players

The "Pinto RED A-S Logemanni Caridina" is a variety of Taiwan Bee Premium, suitable for those looking for high aesthetic performance and has experience in the management of freshwater shellfish.
It requires meticulous care and selective depositions, but repays with an exceptional visual presence in the aquarium.

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.
