General features

- Scientific name: Caridina Logemanni Var. "Panda" (Caridina Cantosisis Var. Panda)

- Common names: Panda Shrimp, Black Panda, Shadow Panda, Black King Kong Panda

- Family: Atyidae

- Origin: Advanced genetic selection, from spontaneous mutations and Taiwan Lines Bee

- Adult dimensions: Males up to 2.0cm, females up to 2.5-3.0cm

- Coloring: Deep black body with opaque white stripes; Capo often with "GALAXY SPOTS" BIANCHI

- Life expectation: About 1.5-2 years

Water parameters

- Temperature: 20-24 ° C (avoid temperatures> 25 ° C)

- ph: 5.5-7.0 (preferably 6.0-6.8)

- Total hardness (GH): 4-6 ° DGH

- Carbonate hardness (KH): 0-2 ° DKH

- Conductivity: 90-200μs / cm

Note: tender water, neutral or slightly acidic, constant and clean is fundamental to the success of this variety .

Aquarium set-up

- Minimum volume: 25-40 liters to guarantee stability

- Composition of the group: Recommended at least 10-15 specimens to reduce stress

- Furniture: Mossi (Java, Fissidens), catappa leaves, woods and rocks for biofilm and shelters

- Lighting: Moderate, useful for biofilm development without favoring algae

- Filtration: Sponge or sweet filter with pre-filter, essential to protect fry

- Heater: Useful in summer or in environments with thermal changes

Power

- Primary diet: Biofilm, microfauna and natural algae

- Feed: Specific pellets for Taiwan Bee, administered sparingly

- Dry leaves: Catappa, oak or alder, excellent for feeding and acidifying naturally

- Blanched vegetables: Zucchini, spinach, nettle

- Proteins: Animal proteins dense twice a week at most

Remove the residues after a few hours to avoid pollution.

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific, Gregario and discreet

- Compatibility: Ideal in monospecific tanks or with other delicate invertebrates; Avoid potentially predatory fish or crustaceans

Reproduction

- Type: Direct development; The females carry 20-40 eggs for 30-35 days

- Incubation: Under the abdomen up to the hatch; Great young people are born

- Ideal conditions: Mature tub, stable water and no predator

Additional notes

- Sensitivity: Highly susceptible to nitrates, copper, pesticides, chemical and thermal changes

- During the wetsuit: Need opensure and optimal water to correctly complete the process

- Difficulties: Intermediate-advanced; More demanding red panda (CRS)

- Genetics: Avoid random intersections with other Taiwan lines Bee to maintain the purity of the pattern

Caridina Logemanni "Panda" is a hypnotic and refined variety, able to transform a tank into a living exposure. Fit to those who already experience in Taiwan Bee, requires stable parameters, excellent water and a well-set environment, but repays with extraordinary reproductive and visual results.

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.
