General features

- Scientific name: Caridina Logemanni Var. "Galaxy Red"

- Common names: Galaxy Red Shrimp, Red Galaxy Pinto

- Family: Atyidae

- Origin: Advanced selection of the Taiwan Bee line, with crosses between Red Pinto and Fishbone Galaxy

- Adult dimensions: About 2.5-3 cm

- Coloring: Bright red body with irregular stripes and blots; The head has numerous white spots typical of the "Galaxy" variant

- Life expectation: 1.5-2 years

Water parameters

- Temperature: 18-23 ° C

- ph: 5.5-6.8

- Total hardness (GH): 4-6 ° DGH

- Carbonate hardness (KH): 0-1 ° DKH

- Conductivity (Total conductivity): 90-150 μs / cm

Note: it is essential to maintain stable parameters and low hardness water for reproductive success and general health of the colony.

Aquarium set-up

- Minimum volume: 20-25 liters

- Composition of the group: Ideal in groups of at least 10 specimens to promote natural behavior

- Furniture: Mossi (such as TaxiPhyllum Sp.), Roots, Dried Leaves and Natural Woods for Biofilm Training

- Lighting: Moderate, useful for the development of biofilm but to be adjusted to avoid excess algae

- Filtration: Sponge filter or low-flow filter equipped with fine pre-filter for the safety of fry

- Heater: Recommended to avoid thermal changes, especially in uncontrolled environments

Power

Caridina Logemanni "Galaxy Red" is omnivorous and micrograph, with a diet that must be balanced and controlled:

- Specific feed for Taiwan Bee and caridine with high vegetable content

- Biofilm and natural algae as a primary source of nutrition

- Born vegetables (nettle, zucchini, mulberry leaves)

- Occasionally, animal protein in small quantities (Dafnie, Artemie)

- Dried leaves (catappa, oak) as a source of tannins and beneficial substances

- Remove any food residues within a few hours to maintain water quality.

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Extremely peaceful and gregarious

- Compatibility: Recommended in monospecific tanks or in the company of other Taiwan Pacific BEE. The coexistence with fish, even small, to avoid predation and stress

Reproduction

- The female lays 15-25 eggs, which leads under the abdomen for about 25-30 days

- the little ones are completely formed and self-sufficient

- Reproductive success requires a mature tub, with stable and clean water values

- Crosses with other Galaxy or Pinto strains can produce interesting variations, but you need to select carefully to preserve the pattern

Additional notes

- Sensitivity: Like all Taiwan Bee, it is very sensitive to nitrates, heavy metals (in particular copper) and temperature variations

- During the wetsuit: Individuals are vulnerable and require abundant shelters

- Genetics: The "Galaxy Red" variety is born from selective intersections between Pinto, Fishbone and Red Taiwan Bee; Avoid random intersections so as not to lose the quality of distinctive traits

- Water management: We recommend using active substrates that buffer pH and KH, and regular water changes with remineralized osmosis with specific salts for caridine softwater

Caridina Logemanni "Galaxy Red" is a gem of modern aquarium, dedicated to experienced farmers and genetic selection enthusiasts. Its hypnotic beauty and the complexity of its patterns make it a undisputed protagonist of the high-end tanks.

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.
