Searching for Crystal Black Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis) for sale? These elegant shrimp are highly sought after in the aquascaping for their bold black and white patterns. Their striking contrast makes them a centerpiece in any planted tank.
Crystal Black Shrimp are a dwarf freshwater species native to Taiwan. Just like their red counterparts, they thrive in planted aquariums with plenty of shelter and hiding spots.
They do best in soft, slightly acidic water and are sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters. Maintaining stable conditions within our recommended guidelines will help your shrimp stay healthy, active, and ready to breed.
Feeding requirements are minimal if your tank has algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter. For best results, feed every other day with high-quality shrimp food to provide a balanced diet and keep their coloration sharp.
Crystal Black Shrimp are peaceful and well-suited for community aquariums. They coexist nicely with other caridina shrimp.
We ship our Crystal Black Shrimp as juveniles, about 1 – 1.5 cm in size.
With the right water conditions, they breed every five to six weeks, making them an excellent choice for both new and experienced shrimp breeders.
