The “Red Bee” – The Jewel that Started It All
The Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina Cantonensis) is the most recognizable and beloved dwarf shrimp in the world. Famous for its striking candy-cane pattern of deep red and snowy white, it is the centerpiece of any high-end shrimp tank.
Recommended Water Parameters: Like all Caridina species, these require cool, soft, and acidic water. Use of a buffering soil (like ADA Amazonia or similar) is highly recommended.
