Caridina Multidentata
|
Caridina Multidentata is herbivorous in nature, will graze constantly around the tank. They prefer a well planted tank. These shrimp are diligent consumers of algae, and are one of the few species available which will consume black brush algae, a particularly troublesome form of red algae. It should be noted, however, that they generally prefer fish food to algae, and will only resort to the latter if the former is unavailable. Also, due to their small size, a large number of them may have to be employed to make a serious impact. If algae is short supply them with algae wafers or a crushed flake, fish food or shrimp pellets.
Caridina Multidentata is a small peaceful shrimp. Best not kept with aggressive or nippy fish. However, it is fine companion to other community life. |
