Crystal Shrimp - Mischling Shrimp - Caridina cf. cantonensis

A Mischling shrimp is a hybrid shrimp created by crossing a Crystal Red/Black shrimp with a Taiwan Bee (or Tiger) shrimp, resulting in a shrimp with traits from both species. These hybrids are often hardier than their parent lines and can be used as a gateway to breeding more specialized Caridina shrimp.

They have variety colour and patterns. They are easy to keep and perfect in your nano tanks.

Water Parameters:

Mischlings require stable water conditions, similar to other Caridina shrimp, with a pH between 5.8-6.5, KH 0-4, and TDS 100-150 ppm.

Substrate:

A buffered substrate is necessary to help maintain a stable pH level. 

Tank Size:

A 10-gallon (40 liters) or larger, fully cycled aquarium is recommended for stable water conditions. 

Tank Mates:

Mischlings are often kept in single-species tanks to prevent interbreeding with other shrimp species and to protect their delicate fry.
