Aquarium Freshwater Shrimp Care
Our Caridina vital range is made up of essential shrimp products that help make keeping and breeding freshwater aquarium shrimp easier, such as boosting health, aiding in shrimp development and optimising the aquarium environment.
Some of Caridina Vital shrimp essentials may be new to you, however, they have been used by shrimp keepers and breeders in Asia for decades, with each one with its own unique benefits and properties to enhance the shrimp-keeping experience.
Our selected blackwater aquarium botanicals can add a new aesthetic to your shrimp aquarium and even encourage natural foraging and grazing in shrimp. If you are new to blackwater aquarium botanicals or any of our Cardina vital products, feel free to reach out to us for more information.
