Red Crystal Shrimp

Ornamental shrimp also called red bee named scientific Caridina sp which can grow up to 3.5 cm in size and require cold water temperatures range from 21-27 degrees Celsius. Crystal red shrimp is the result of a bumble bee shrimp species that produce red type that is not normal, then the type of reinforced its genes by Mr. Hisayasu Suzuki then patented type of shrimp this one, so it is now known by the rapid worldwide. Crystal red shrimp are most sensitive ornamental shrimp among other ornamental shrimp, which is possible because at least inherited genetic variation than other ornamental shrimp. So that required special handling when doing this shrimp shipments that factor into the reason behind the high price of this ornamental shrimp. If health shrimp is in good condition will be very active, if only slightly moving in the sense of not very active, then the water parameters should be checked.

Aquarium and care for crystal red shrimp.
Ideally require a crystal red shrimp aquarium containing plants, so the shrimp can hide and also can always find food to eat. This prawn normally will not damage healthy plants but only takes part withered and algae growing on the plant, because most plants can not be soft enough for them to eat even if they try. For this type of moss plants and Riccia they can consume easily. An open area in the aquarium should be in such settings, although not required, and be sure not to install a water filtration very strong for this shrimp. Lights must be extinguished a few hours each night, and do not add a chemical or anti-parasitic drug into the water because it can kill the shrimp. Water changes should be done at least once a week so that the water quality is maintained, and use water that has been aerated for 24 hours instead of the old water as much as 25-35 percent of the initial volume of water. Ph needed range from 6-7 and cold temperatures can make this quick shrimp breeding. Ph value control in order not to decrease too much because the acidic water conditions led to the weakening of the shells of shrimp alkaline making it easier for bacteria to invade parts of the body in this striped patterned shrimp. This is why the alkaline water makes brightly colored shrimp than in acidic water. Also controls the value of nitrate and ammonia in the water, as much as possible closer to zero.

Crystal Red Shrimp feed
This requires a shrimp variety vegetable-based foods and soft interlude with food made from meat, but can also instantly given algae wafers or good-quality pellets that can sink to the bottom of the water. The presence of moss and Riccia can also be foods that keep them not lack of food when hungry, if any shells results of molting let it go in the tank because they will take the calcium from the shells apart.

Breeding
Crystal red shrimp farming requires the same care as in aquaculture shrimp and shrimp bumble cherry red crystal but more sensitive and require better water quality. Crystal red shrimp farming requires fairly large place because if maintained on a small aquarium conception will be very rare. The temperature required ranges from 21-23 degrees Celsius, also the parameters of the cold water shrimp seedlings have great opportunities to grow. It should be the deciding factor is how his quality of food given to the red crystal shrimp, if it has been met then the red crystal shrimp would be very easy to lay eggs. When the eggs are hatched we can see the shape of miniature colored translucent explore all corners of the aquarium, it is quite a long time they need to grow a little larger.
