Crystal Red PRL Shrimp S/SSS Grade

Crystal Red PRL Shrimp (Pure Red Line) are the original Caridina shrimp in the aquarium hobby. We have high-grade PRL Crystal Red Shrimp in two grades:

• High-Grade PRL Crystal Red Shrimp (SS/SSS): These shrimp feature intense red and bright white coloration, with mostly white bodies and small red markings or a red collar. Highly coveted for their striking appearance.
• Mid-Grade PRL Crystal Red Shrimp (S/SS): These shrimp have more red coverage, typically showing up to three distinct red stripes on their body. Still beautiful, but with a slightly less defined color contrast or thickness of shell.

These Crystal Red Shrimp are perfect for both experienced hobbyists and those looking to level up their aquarium with premium Caridina shrimp. They thrive in stable, slightly acidic water and are admired for their bold appearance and peaceful behavior in tanks.

Crystal Red Shrimp Care:

These PRL Crystal Red Shrimp require soft, slightly acidic water and are best kept in aquariums with a stable environment. We do 20% water changes every other week maintain water quality with remineralized RODI water. We recommend sponge filters for filtration as they provide lots of surface area for the shrimp to graze on. Crystal Red shrimp thrive in clean, algae-rich tanks, where they can feed on biofilm and other organic material.

Breeding and Compatibility:

• Breeding: PRL Crystal Red Shrimp breed easily when kept in stable conditions. Females will carry eggs (berried shrimp) for about a month before they hatch.
• Compatibility: These shrimp are peaceful and should ideally be kept in a species-only tank to ensure their water parameters remain stable. They can be housed with other peaceful species such as small fish or other dwarf shrimp, but avoid keeping them with larger or aggressive tank mates.
