Aquarium set-up

- Recommended minimum volume: 20 liters (preferably 30 liters or more)

- Composition of the group: Minimum 10 - 15 specimens for natural behavior

- Furniture: Moschi presence (eg Java Moss), woods, roots and dry leaves to promote the formation of biofilm

- Lighting: Moderate, to promote the growth of biofilms and avoid excessive algal proliferation

- Filtration: Sponge filter or filter with fine pre-filter for the protection of fry

Power

- omnivorous, feeds on biofilm, algae and organic residues

- specific feed for caridine, preferably based vegetable

- Born vegetables (like zucchini, spinach, nettle)

- Protein feeding only occasionally (Dafnie, Artemie)

- even dried leaves (catappa, oak) for integration and refuge

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific and social

- Compatibility: With other caridine with similar water requirements; suitable for coexistence with small non-predatory fish and other peaceful invertebrates

Reproduction

- Type of development: Direct; The females carry from 20 to 40 eggs under the abdomen

- Incubation time: About 4 - 6 weeks

- Young people: Already formed and self-sufficient

Additional notes

- this variety can be bred both alone and in targeted selections, thanks to the stability of the Tiger pattern

- is often used in hybridization projects (eg Fancy Tiger), but this requires accurate selection and separation of the lines

- it is considered a caridine of easy or medium difficulty, also suitable for those approaching for the first time to the caridine genre

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.
