- Caridina Serratirostris
|
Caridina Serratirostris is herbivorous in nature, will graze constantly around the tank. They prefer a well planted tank. They will also also take crumbled algae wafers or catfish tablets.
Caridina Serratirostris earned its common name from the rapid change in color that can occur. This species is known to possess colors of red, yellow, brown, blue, grey, black, and more. Its rapid color changing abilities, as a means of camouflage, are thought to mimic that of a Ninja. Hence the name Ninja Shrimp. Many other species change colors when sick or unhappy with their captive environment, the Ninja Shrimp however seems to perform the color change when it feel necessary. Caridina Serratirostris is a small peaceful shrimp. It can be kept with all community life, but should not be kept with other Caridinia species (crossbreed). |
