NotKelly Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I want to dip my toe into the caridina world as I've only had neos for the longest time. What params would you guys suggest for crystal black? Including temperature. Thanks ^__^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I actually keep mine at 5.5 pH I also kept some at 6.2 pH I guess the best would be in the middle 6.2-6.4 pH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 As noted above there is a wide range of tolerable parameters that Caridina shrimp will thrive in. Most importantly the acclimation phase when first introducing your shrimp to an aquarium is crucial to your initial success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
