White Caridina Shrimp
White Caridina Shrimp are an attractive freshwater ornamental shrimp, prized for their clean white colouring and delicate appearance. Their bright, elegant look makes them a beautiful addition to carefully maintained planted aquariums and dedicated shrimp tanks.
These peaceful shrimp spend much of their time grazing on biofilm, algae and microorganisms growing on aquarium surfaces, driftwood and plants. They are best suited to mature, stable aquariums with consistent water parameters and plenty of natural grazing areas.
