Clear, close-up, well-lit photos work best

๐Ÿ“ธ Tips for Better Identification

  • Use natural or white LED light โ€” avoid colored LEDs
  • Get as close as you can โ€” show the body pattern clearly
  • Photograph from the side so the full body is visible
  • Make sure the shrimp is in focus, not blurry
  • Include a size reference if possible (finger, coin)

Pro Tips

Wisdom from experienced shrimp keepers.

๐Ÿงช

Test Before Water Changes

Always test your source water (tap or RO) before adding it to the tank. Know what you're putting in!

๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Slow Temperature Changes

Shrimp can't handle rapid temp swings. Match temperature within 1-2ยฐF during water changes. Drip acclimate new shrimp for 1+ hours.

๐Ÿ’€

Copper = Death

Even trace amounts of copper are lethal to shrimp. Check fertilizers, medications, and tap water. Always use shrimp-safe products.

๐Ÿ”„

Consistency Over Perfection

Stable parameters are more important than "perfect" numbers. A steady pH of 7.2 beats one that swings between 6.5 and 7.0.

๐Ÿชจ

Active Soil Matters

For Caridina, use active buffering substrate (ADA Amazonia, Brightwell). It naturally lowers pH. Replace every 12-18 months.

Indian Almond Leaves

Add IAL to your tank โ€” tannins have antifungal properties, and shrimp love grazing on the biofilm!
