Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Sunkist Orange Shrimp (Caridina cf. propinqua) is a peaceful orange Caridina trade form often associated with cf. propinqua or thambipillai naming. It is best treated as a stable, mature-shrimp-tank species rather than a beginner cherry shrimp.
Use a fully cycled planted aquarium with moss, leaf litter, biofilm surfaces and shrimp-safe filtration. Keep temperature, pH and minerals steady, and avoid copper medication or sudden water changes.
Sunkist Orange Shrimp graze on biofilm and algae. Supplement lightly with shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables and mineral foods, removing leftovers before they affect water quality.
Keep with peaceful nano fish, snails and compatible shrimp where cross-breeding is not a concern. Avoid large fish, predatory fish and boisterous bottom dwellers.
