Red BOA Caridina Shrimp

Red BOA Caridina shrimp showcase vibrant crimson bodies with bold striping patterns that intensify under proper lighting. These freshwater dwarf shrimp excel in planted nano aquariums where they graze on biofilm and algae while remaining completely reef-safe for planted tanks. They demand stable water conditions—slightly acidic pH, moderate hardness, and consistent temperatures between 68-78°F. Red BOAs are prolific breeders in well-maintained setups, offering aquarists the rewarding opportunity to observe their complete lifecycle. Their gentle nature and low bioload make them perfect for establishing balanced microcosms with minimal maintenance requirements.
