Sera shrimp mineral salt
Shrimps and other water inhabitants take up a part of their essential minerals and trace elements not via their food but directly via the water. However, aquarium water does not contain many of these essential substances in sufficient amounts.
Sera shrimp mineral salt provides all important trace elements as well as valuable calcium, magnesium and potassium in a directed way. The effectively avoids molting problems and reliably closes supply gaps.
Minerals and trace elements for invertebrates
- Minimizes molting problems
- Improves the reproduction rate
- Supports a healthy growth
- Strengthens the immune system
- Enhances R/O water poor in minerals
Recommended dosage
Sprinkle 0.17 oz. (5 g, one level teaspoon) sera shrimp mineral salt for every 5.3 US gal. (20 l) of water once weekly. The dosage can be increased in case of high mineral requirement or original water low in minerals (including R/O water). A single dose increases the GH by 6.5°dGH at the average. The KH remains unaltered.

– Color: Red and white patterns, graded from low (C) to high (SSS) quality
– Size: 2.5–3 cm
– Lifespan: 1.5–2 years
– Temperament: Peaceful, shy, active grazers
– Difficulty: Moderate to high (sensitive to water parameters)—
🧪 Ideal Water Parameters
Red Crystal Shrimp are Caridina, which means they prefer soft, acidic water.| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|———-|————-|
| Temperature | 20–24°C |
| pH | 5.8–6.8 |
| GH | 4–6 |
| KH | 0–2 |
| TDS | 100–160 ppm |Important: Dubai tap water is usually hard and alkaline, so most keepers use RO (reverse osmosis) water remineralized with a Caridina-specific mineral mix.

🏡 Tank Setup Tips
Tank Size
– Minimum 20 liters, but 30–40 liters is more stable for sensitive shrimp.Substrate
– Use active soil (e.g., ADA Amazonia, Brightwell, SL-Aqua) to buffer pH downward.Filtration
– Sponge filter or gentle canister filter
– Avoid strong flow
– Ensure excellent biological filtrationPlants & Hardscape
– Mosses (Java, Christmas, Flame)
– Fine-leaf plants
– Cholla wood, almond leaves, and biofilm-friendly surfacesLighting
– Moderate; shrimp don’t need strong light, but plants do.—
🍽 Feeding
Red Crystal Shrimp graze constantly on biofilm, but you can supplement with:– Shrimp-specific pellets
– Blanched vegetables (zucchini, spinach)
– Snowflake food
– Bacter powders for biofilm growthFeed lightly—overfeeding is the #1 cause of shrimp deaths.

🧼 Maintenance & Care Tips
Stability is everything
Caridina shrimp die more from parameter swings than from imperfect parameters.Weekly Routine
– 10–15% water change with remineralized RO water
– Clean filter sponges gently in tank water
– Remove uneaten food after 2–3 hoursAvoid
– Copper-based medications
– Sudden temperature changes
– Overcleaning the tank
– Mixing with aggressive fish—
🐣 Breeding
Red Crystal Shrimp breed readily when conditions are stable.Requirements
– Mature tank (2–3 months minimum)
– Stable soft water
– Plenty of hiding spotsFemales carry eggs for 28–35 days, and babies are tiny but fully formed.

💡 Pro Tips for Success
– Start with 10–20 shrimp to build a stable colony.
– Use drip acclimation when introducing them.
– Add leaf litter to boost biofilm and tannins.
– Keep them in a species-only tank for best survival rates.
– Test water weekly—especially TDS and pH.We make sure all our fishes are kept with highest living standards with proper aquarium water care.

Red Fancy Tiger Shrimp
The great thing about Red Fancy Tiger shrimp is that they vary in pattern so drastically, all are so beautiful. We sell tiger shrimp usually around half an inch. The smaller they are, the easier it is to acclimate them to a new aquarium. The shrimp will reach breeding age within a month of receiving them.
Red fancy tiger shrimp are a mix between tiger shrimp and crystal red shrimp. We keep these shrimp at the parameters below. In our experience, these shrimp are very hardy and have done really well for us. Through importing these guys, we have lost very few. The red fancy tiger is a must have for all aquarium shrimp hobbyist. The contrast between the red and white is very appealing. They are a great change from the typical red and white patterns found in crystal red dwarf shrimp.
