Aquarium set-up

- Recommended minimum volume: 15-20 liters

- Recommended population density: At least 5 individuals

- Furniture: Provide numerous hiding places with roots, rocks, leaves and plants to offer safe shelters, especially during the suit

- Lighting: Moderate; The use of floating plants can create shadow zones

- Filtration: Use a sponge filter or equip the filter of a pre-filter sponge to protect the fry from the suction

Power

Neocaridine Davidi "Rili Red" is omnivorous and feeds by:

- Algae and biofilm in the aquarium

- Specific feed for dwarf shrimp

- Vegetables blanched as zucchini, carrots and spinach

- Dried oak leaves or alder, useful also for the creation of food microhabitats

It is important to avoid supercharging; Offer food in quantities that can be consumed in about two hours.

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacifico and Gregario

- Compatibility: Suitable for coexistence with small non predatory fish, other peaceful invertebrates and snails. Avoid cohabitation with large or aggressive species

Reproduction

Playback takes place easily in the aquarium:

- The females carry the eggs under the abdomen for about 20-30 days

- At the hatch, young people emerge fully trained and self-sufficient

- It is important to note that coloring can vary among individuals; A careful selection can help stabilize the desired shade in the progeny

Additional notes

- 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: During the wetsuit, the shrimp are particularly vulnerable; The presence of numerous hiding places is essential for their safety

- Live plants: The presence of lived plants not only offers shelters, but also contributes to water quality and provides surfaces for biofilm growth, a natural food source for shrimp

Neocaridine Davidi "Rili Sakura" represents an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquariums, thanks to its robustness, ease of breeding and fascinating coloring that adds a touch of liveliness to any freshwater 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.
