About
Crystal shrimp are selectively bred bee-shrimp lines derived from Caridina logemanni. They are small, peaceful freshwater shrimp that require stable, soft, acidic water with very low carbonate hardness. They are less forgiving of parameter swings than Neocaridina and are best kept in mature, well-cycled aquariums.
