- Adult dimensions: About 3-3.5 cm

- Coloring: Pure bright red and white striped patterns, often with refined markings "Flower Head", "Crown", or "no entry"

- Life expectation: 1.5-5 years

Water parameters

- Temperature: 18-24 ° C

- ph: 5.8-7.4

- Total hardness (GH): 4-6 ° DGH

- Carbonate hardness (KH): 0-4 ° DKH

- Conductivity (total conductivity): 100-200 μs / cm

Note: the stability of the values is crucial; Even small variations can negatively affect health and reproduction.

Aquarium set-up

- Minimum volume: 20-25 liters

- Composition of the group: Recommended in groups of at least 10-15 individuals to reduce stress

- Furniture: Plants like Mossi (eg TaxiPhyllum), catappa leaves and natural woods to promote the formation of biofilm

- Lighting: Moderate, to promote biofilm and not stress animals

- Filtration: Sponge filter or conventional filter equipped with fine pre-filter

- Heater: Optional, but useful for maintaining constant temperatures

Power

The Caridina Logemanni "Flower Red" is debritivora and omnivora. His diet includes:

Biofilm and microorganisms naturally present in the aquarium

Specific feed for caridines, rich in fibers and minerals

Blanched vegetables (nettle, spinach, zucchini)

Animal proteins (Dafnie, Artemie) only occasionally and in controlled quantities

Dried leaves (catappa, guava) as a food and antibacterial support

Remove the food not consumed after a few hours to avoid accumulating pollutants.

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific, Gregario

- Compatibility: Preferably bred in monospecific tanks or with other peaceful invertebrates (eg snails). The coexistence with fish, even small, to avoid stress and predation of fry is not recommended.

Reproduction

The female carries around 20-30 eggs under the abdomen for a period of 25-30 days

The larvae is completely formed and autonomous

Reproduction is only possible in very stable chemical and biological conditions

To promote the survival of the fry, the aquarium must be well mature and free of predators

Additional notes

- Sensitivity: Particularly sensitive to nitrates, copper, unfit fertilizers and non-tested products for invertebrates

- Muta: During the suit are vulnerable; The presence of natural hiding places is essential

- Genetics: The "Flower Red" variety is the result of careful selection, so it is important to maintain lines as well and not cross with other Bee Shrimp to preserve the pattern

The Logemanni Caridina "Flower Red" is a refined caridine, suitable for experienced aquarists or enthusiasts of genetic selections. It requires clean water, stable parameters and a balanced diet, but in return it offers a remarkable visual show thanks to its intense colors and the unique decorative pattern.

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.
