Common
questions.
Quick answers about caridina shrimp. No question is silly, so if yours isn't here, ask us.
Are Caridina shrimp harder to keep than Neocaridina?
Generally, yes. Most Caridina need soft, slightly acidic water and very stable conditions, which is why many keepers use remineralised RO water and an active substrate.
Can Caridina and Neocaridina be kept together?
It isn’t usually recommended, because they prefer quite different water. Most keepers give each its own tank so both can do well.
Do you have a good range of shrimp?
Yes. We have the largest range of ornamental shrimp in the Northern Rivers, with new stock arriving every week.
Can I check what’s in stock before I visit?
Yes. Fresh stock arrives every week and fish can sell quickly, so a listing here doesn’t guarantee a fish is in store today. Call (02) 6686 0002 or send an enquiry and we’ll let you know what’s currently available.
