Orange Eye Black Devil Shrimp A-S

The Orange Eye Black Devil Shrimp (A-S grade) is a rare and captivating Caridina species, distinguished by its deep black body and striking bright orange eyes. This shrimp’s intense coloration provides a dramatic contrast, making it a centerpiece in aquariums and a favorite among advanced shrimp keepers. Its jet-black body often appears velvety under proper lighting, highlighting the vivid orange eyes, which are a hallmark of this variety.

To keep Orange Eye Black Devil Shrimp healthy, it is crucial to maintain pristine and stable water conditions. They require soft, slightly acidic water with a pH range of 5.8 to 6.4, general hardness (GH) of 4-6, and carbonate hardness (KH) close to 0 to preserve the necessary acidity. The ideal temperature range is 68°F to 74°F (20°C to 23°C). These shrimp thrive in a well-established, heavily planted tank with moss, driftwood, and leaf litter, which encourage biofilm growth and provide natural shelter.

Their diet should include high-quality shrimp-specific food enriched with essential minerals to support their vibrant coloration and overall health. Occasional blanched vegetables and protein-based supplements are also recommended. Maintaining clean, stable water with low nitrate levels is vital, as they are highly sensitive to water quality fluctuations. Orange Eye Black Devil Shrimp are best kept in species-specific tanks or with other peaceful Caridina varieties to reduce stress. These shrimp are ideal for advanced keepers who can provide consistent care and meet their specific requirements.
