Soothing Shrimp Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Sunkist Shrimp- old name Caridina cf. propinqua. New name Caridina thambipillai Low order breeders, larvae need brackish water to survive. I have them myself and are some of my favorites due to their color changes. Never bred for me though.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 This may help. A little info from the net: "Reproduce this species isn't easy task because larval stage needs a separate aquarium with brackish water with the same water parameters as the general tank. We transfers fertilized female to this aquarium and we wait up to hatching all eggs. Then we remove her and we gradually salt the water with the larvae to specific gravity SG=1.008. The larvae fall on the bottom and they transform to adult form after 20-30 days. Then we don't need immediately to transfer young to the freshwater aquarium. This species can live in brackish water its life." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjim9001 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I kind of guessed that and just don't have the time to try this at the moment and will just leave them to it. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
