Red Crystal Shrimp (Indonesia code 4450) Average length 0.5" - 1" Red Crystal Shrimp Most shrimp varieties have a relatively large tolerance range with regard to water values. A good supply of oxygen is particularly important. If the oxygen level drops too low, this will have an adverse effect on their health.
Many varieties thrive at a room temperature of 20-22 degrees Centigrade ,michael kors handbag sale. Tropical varieties prefer slightly warmer temperatures, in some instances up to 28 degrees Centigrade. In this case an additional heater is necessary, such as the Nano adjustable heater. Shrimps will become inactive if the water is too cold.
Plenty of hiding places, such as densely planted, shaded areas, foliage, and above all cave-like retreats, are of great importance to their well-being.
Celebes Beauty Shrimp (Indonesia Code 4244) Average length 0.5"+ Celebes Beauty Shrimp Shrimps are generally omnivores, with a special preference for vegetable-based foods. In addition to algae, their natural diet also includes animal plankton, detritus (dead vegetable matter, rotting foliage, etc.) and even carrion.
These natural source of nutrition are usually lacking in an aquarium. Different types of frozen feed (midge larvae, artemia) fresh vegetables (spinach, courgettes) or herbs (stinging nettles) should be added to the diet on a regular basis as supplements and to provide a touch of variety.
White Spot Shrimp (Indonesia Code 4243) Average length 0.5"+ White Spot Shrimp The White Spot shrimp (fire shrimp) is considered one of the most attractive fresh water shrimps belonging to the Caridina genus. As a rock dweller it spends most of its life between and under the rocks. Their native lake environment has a high water quality, clear and with low nutrient content. The water values do not fluctuate to any substantial degree,michael kors cheap bags. Requirements: temperature 27-29 degrees Centigrade; PH: 7.4 - 7.8
Red Cherry Shrimp (Indonesia Code 4246) Average length 0.5" - 0.75"+ Red Cherry Shrimp The Red Cherry Shrimp is an undemanding shrimp in its care requirements. They should be kept in a well established freshwater tropical fish wholesale aquarium with no predators. The most important factor for water parameter is stability and as long as none of the water parameters are in the extremes Red Cherry Shrimp should be happy and healthy.

Blue Bee Shrimp (Indonesia Code 4439) Average length 1" Blue Bee Shrimp The Blue Bee Shrimp is relatively new to the shrimp hobby. It was first introduced around March 2008. It can be many colors and is sometimes hard to obtain due to the fact that it is wild caught and just starting to be bred by hobbyists,michael kors outlet.
The Blue Bee Shrimp is a wild caught species found in freshwater streams in China. So far virtually all of the Blue Bee Shrimp in the hobby are from the wild. Breeding has begun however and captive bred specimens should not take long to hit the hobby shelves.
Successful breeding has been reported in a pH range of 6.5 to 6.8 with a temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit. These parameters are very similar to the parameters required for the Crystal Red Shrimp or Bee Shrimp. Since this is a close relative of those two species I suspect that the same care should be given to the Blue Bee.
Feeding is best done once a day. Only feed an amount of food that the shrimp can finish within 2-3 hours maximum. It is not good to feed in excess and have food sitting for too long. Overfeeding is a known cause of death and can also cause water quality issues. Since shrimp are scavengers in the wild, they will eat whatever they find and are not used to a constant food source.
Black Crystal Shrimp (Indonesia Code 4437) Average length 0.5" - 1" Black Crystal Shrimp This is a black color morph of the Bee Shrimp, established in 1991, it may referred to as the Crystal Black Shrimp or CBS. It is exactly the same as the Bee Shrimp but is now being bred separately for the color. This genetic mutation was discovered in Japan in 1996 and was registered as a trademark in that country.
Like all crustaceans, shrimps continue to grow throughout their lives. They molt at regular intervals, in order to discard their old shells which have become too small for them. As the body is very soft and extremely vulnerable during molting, they withdraw to the safety of a hideout. After a few days the new shell has hardened and the shrimps return to their normal lives.
