Orange Eye Red Devil Shrimp A-S

The Orange Eye Red Devil Shrimp is a stunning and rare Caridina variety, prized for its intense red body coloration and vivid orange eyes. The shrimp’s deep red hue exudes a bold and striking aesthetic, while its bright orange eyes provide a dramatic contrast. As a result of selective breeding, the Orange Eye Red Devil Shrimp is a highly sought-after addition to aquariums, particularly by advanced shrimp keepers.

To maintain the health and vibrant coloration of the Orange Eye Red Devil Shrimp, it is essential to provide a stable and pristine environment. These shrimp require soft, slightly acidic water with a pH range of 5.8 to 6.4, a general hardness (GH) of 4-6, and carbonate hardness (KH) close to 0 to support their natural physiology. The ideal temperature range is 68°F to 74°F (20°C to 23°C). A heavily planted tank with moss, leaf litter, and soft substrate is recommended to promote biofilm growth, provide hiding spots, and mimic their natural habitat.

Their diet should consist of high-quality shrimp-specific food, enriched with essential minerals to enhance their coloration and overall health. Supplementation with blanched vegetables and protein-based treats is beneficial. Regular water changes and a reliable filtration system are critical to maintaining stable water quality and preventing nitrate buildup, as these shrimp are sensitive to water quality fluctuations. The Orange Eye Red Devil Shrimp is best kept in species-specific tanks or with other peaceful Caridina varieties. They are most suitable for experienced shrimp keepers due to their sensitivity and specific care needs.
