Crystal Red Shrimp (Mixed Grade)

Crystal Red Shrimp (Mixed Grade)

*These shrimp are a mix from grade A – SS. They are also part of the Caridina Family. Please note these shrimp require a pH below 7. 

*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client – we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY RECEIVING ONLY MALES OR ONLY FEMALES OR JUVENILE Shrimp.

Feeding Shrimp:

Firstly, we advise feeding shrimp an all in one food like Shrimp King Complete. In addition to Shrimp King Complete, you can get some Bacter AE that you feed 2-3 times a week. In addition, GlasGarten – Mineral Junkie is a fantastic mineral supplement to feed once a week. On top of that, any shrimp snack or treat will work great. Secondly, if you have 80 or more shrimp in your tank, Shirakura – Ebi Dama is a great food that doesn’t spread or break down with water movement, but rather stays in one peace as you feed.

Other Recommendations:

As a result, a feeding dish is also recommended when feeding any food that breaks apart in the water.

Sexing Shrimp:

Sexing Shrimp is quite simple, you can check out this YouTube video on how to sex shrimp.

Our parameters of the Crystal Red Shrimp (Mixed Grade):

PH:	5.8 – 6.8
KH:	0 – 1
GH:	4 – 6
TDS:	120 – 180

Acclimating Shrimp:

For instance, if the shrimp has been in transit for:

• < 48 hours we recommend slowly acclimating shrimp with the “drip method”.
• 3+ days, we recommend floating the bag for 15 minutes. Subsequently, “pour” the shrimp into a fish net over a bucket. Therefore, you can catch all the shrimp in the net and let the water collect in the bucket. Further, you can add the shrimp to your tank.
