- Family: Atyidae

- Origin: Ornamental varieties of Neocaridine Davidi (Green Jade and Red Sakura) and of the genus Caridina (Snow White)

- Adult dimensions: Up to 2.5-3cm

- Colors: Green Jade: Intense Green | White Pearl: White | Red Sakura: bright red

- Life expectation: about 2-5 years

Water parameters

- Temperature: 15-28 ° C

- ph: 6.5-8.5

- Total hardness (GH): 3 - 20th DGH

- Carbonatic hardness (KH): 3-14 ° dkh

- Conductivity (TDS): about 300 ± 50μs / cm

Aquarium set-up

- Minimum volume: ≥20l (12 prawns recommended for 20L dwarf tubs)

- Furniture: Rich in mosses, woods, rocks and fallen leaves; Well structured and biofilm and natural shelter environment

- Lighting: Moderate; Help the development of the biofilm avoiding the excess of algae

- Filtration: Sponge filter or with pre-filter, delicate flow

- Compatibility: Excellent in peaceful communities with small fish, snails (precise compatibility for the specific mix)

Power

- Basic power supply: Biofilm, microorganisms, algae present naturally

- Recommended feed: Specific for caridine / neocaridine (eg Mainfeed Garnelio)

- Vegetable snacks: Pumpkin chips, nettle, oak leaves and catappa, which offer useful tannins

- Proteins: Occasionally integrated, in moderation

Behavior and compatibility

- Temperament: Pacific, social and curious

Compatibility

The neocharidine (Green Jade, Red Sakura) cross each other and generate descendants with chromatic combinations, even if in time they can strive less intense colors.

Reproduction

- Development: Direct

- Number of eggs: The females produce from 20 to 40-50 eggs

- Reproductive cycle: About 3-4 weeks

- Suggestions: Mature tanks, stable parameters, abundant biofilm, protection for small with plants and mosses

Additional notes

- hybridization and genetics: neocharidine can be hybridiful to each other; If you want colorations as well, you need to intervene selectively; Otherwise a rainbow effect is obtained

- Stability and environment: Neocaridins are resistant and suitable for beginners, all three varieties coexist well if the general parameters are kept under control

- Initial population: 12 Shrimps are enough to start a 20L aquarium dwarf

Information note

Mix different color caridines can compromise the purity of genetic lines. With time, cross-variety crosses can generate specimens with dull or grayish colors. This practice is not recommended if you want to maintain defined and stable color lines over time.

The neocaridine mix "flag Italy" offer a fascinating tricolor mix, ideal for loved decorative tubs for color games.
Suitable for beginners thanks to non-critical parameters, they require attention only if you want to maintain the genetic purity of the different colors.

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.
