Snow Zebra Sulawesi Shrimp

No reviews

The snow zebra shrimp, scientifically known as Caridina babaulti, is native to the Sulawesi island in Indonesia.

It is a dwarf shrimp species that typically grows to around 4cm in length.

The shrimp has a striking white and black striped pattern, giving it the "zebra" appearance.

Still very rare in the United States, this shrimp is now primarily bred in captivity, particularly in Taiwan, where they are raised in Neocaridina ponds.

GH - 7

KH - 5

TDS - 150-200

Temperature - 75-82

Have been told these can live in Neo parameters, in our case we use tap water for neos, so I have not tried to keep them in neo parameters.
Imported

Imported can get a bad rep. They are typically a lot cheaper than homebred but travel a long distance. Several of my imports come from Taiwan to California to Nebraska. As you can imagine this stresses out shrimp and casualities are common.

Neocaridina imports typical come from outdoor farms. Variables aren't as easily controlled. Water parameters can be pretty extreme to what we as hobbyist keep. I've measured parameters to be 18 GH, 12 KH and close to 400 TDS from the water they are received in. My water parameters for Neos comes from Omaha tap water and is typically 8GH 8KH TDS 250.

What makes Aqua Atomic Imports different?

I quaratine for a minimum of 2 weeks. I find most of the shrimp casualities happen in the first 10 days. However I still offer the shrimp at a much cheaper cost than homebred.

Homebred

Homebred are typically 2+ generations removed from any shrimp import. Hobbyist have to be vigilant in culling to maintain high grade colors. Imports typically are high grade and no culling is needed.

I do have snails in my tank.I do my best to pick off what I see. Duckweed have invaded a few tanks but most plants will be free of duckweed. Older leaves may have a bit of algae but I typically clean up all plants before shipping.
