Caridina serratirostris

[Mischy]

hello,

do you have any experiences with this shrimp? Or has anyone kept or even bred them? I found a seller and now want to know what is important to keep them, because they are not so cheap

thank you,

regards Michael

Is there also an English or German translation? I'm very interested in this species.

I have them for 2 years now. They are very easy to keep.
Some are shy, but mine are easy to see.

You need brackish or salt water to breed, but I like to now about the temperature and the specific salinity.

Hi

I have a dozen of Caridina serratirostris for more than a year now. They are very shy and it's hard to see them unless you pay attention: they change color to match their of their environment. But they are beautiful shrimps.

I keep them in tap water without any problem.

I would like to try breeding them but didn't have enough time for it for the moment.

I have them in my tank with Sulawesi shrimps at 24 Celcius. There are no plants in this tank.
In the beginning they were shy, but not any more. Perhaps because of the number of other shrimps.

Indeed they are excelent in camouflage!

Did you see eggs? Mine never get eggs, although I have several female shrimps.

No I have never seen any eggs on the females too...

My tank is at 25°C, there is not many plants, just two Cryptocoryne wendtii, and a Coral moss on an asia root.
