Mixed Pinto Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis)
$11.99Red Pinto Shrimp and Black Pinto Shrimp are a selectively bred form of Caridina cantonensis which have been developed from wild specimens showing a a striking red and white or black and white zebra/spotted patterns. They are enormously popular due to their striking, high contrast coloration and can be a bit more delicate than some of the more common Neocaridina species, so are best kept by hobbyists with some experience keeping shrimp already. Like most Caridina species, Pinto Shrimp prefer soft, lower pH water and do best at slightly lower temperatures. These shrimp are sensitive to water quality so regular water changes and adequate filtration are important to keep them healthy and thriving.
