Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina)

The Crystal Red Shrimp (CRS) is not hard to spot. They are characterised from their beautiful red vertical bands along their white body. 

Crystal Red shrimp are a little more sensitive than most common dwarf shrimp and don't react well to low water quality. This means you have to check your water parameters if you want to keep these shrimp happy and alive. The water should be relatively soft and acidic, and always free of ammonia and nitrites. Regular water changes and aquarium maintenance is a must, as Crystal Reds are also quite sensitive to nitrates.
