Orange Eye Orange Devil Shrimp S-SS

The Orange Eye Orange Devil Shrimp (S-SS grade) is a rare and visually striking Caridina variety known for its vivid orange body coloration and distinctive bright orange eyes. This shrimp’s unique appearance makes it a prized addition to any aquarist’s collection, especially for those looking to add a bold splash of color to their tank. The Orange Devil’s vibrant hue and contrasting eyes are the result of careful selective breeding, requiring a stable and well-maintained environment to thrive.

To maintain the health and brilliance of Orange Eye Orange Devil Shrimp, it is essential to provide soft, slightly acidic water. Ideal parameters include a pH of 5.8 to 6.4, general hardness (GH) of 4-6, and carbonate hardness (KH) close to 0. The temperature range should be between 68°F and 74°F (20°C to 23°C). These shrimp prefer a heavily planted tank with low lighting, mosses, and leaf litter, which foster biofilm growth and provide hiding spots for their comfort and natural behavior.

Diet plays a crucial role in maintaining the shrimp’s vivid coloration and overall health. Feeding should include high-quality shrimp-specific food enriched with minerals, occasional blanched vegetables, and protein-based supplements. Regular water changes and a reliable filtration system are necessary to maintain stable water quality. Orange Eye Orange Devil Shrimp are best kept in species-specific tanks or with other peaceful Caridina varieties to reduce stress and competition. They are best suited for intermediate to advanced shrimp keepers due to their sensitivity to water conditions and their need for a stable environment.
