Pinocchio Shrimp Caridina 2cm

Overview: The Pinocchio Shrimp (Caridina) is a captivating freshwater shrimp prized for its striking appearance and intriguing behavior. Recognized by its elongated rostrum reminiscent of Pinocchio’s nose, this species adds charm and character to any aquarium.

Origin: Native to the pristine waters of Southeast Asia, particularly found in the rivers and streams of regions like Thailand, these shrimp thrive in well-established, densely planted habitats with clean, oxygen-rich water.

Feeding: Pinocchio Shrimp are omnivores, enjoying a diverse diet that includes high-quality shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables like zucchini or spinach, and occasional treats of frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tank Mates: These shrimp are peaceful and do best in a species-specific tank or with other non-aggressive, small aquatic species like small fish, snails, or peaceful dwarf shrimp. Avoid housing them with larger or aggressive fish that might prey on them.

Aggression: They are incredibly docile creatures, displaying minimal aggression. They spend their time foraging and exploring, contributing to the tank’s ecological balance without causing disruptions.

Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced aquarists would find joy in caring for Pinocchio Shrimp. Their sensitivity to water parameters requires attention to detail in maintaining a stable environment.

Water Parameters: Ideal water conditions for Pinocchio Shrimp include a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C), pH between 6.2-7.6, and a low to moderate hardness (GH 4-6, KH 1-2). Consistency in water quality is crucial for their health and breeding success.
