The difficulty of raising Caridina spinosa is not high. They do not have high requirements for water quality and can grow in weak acidic water and weak alkaline water. They do not require too high water temperature, as long as it is not too low, they can survive. It is omnivorous, not picky eaters, can eat algae, shrimp food, but also eat small aquatic insects, so food preparation is relatively easy.
1. Water temperature: The water temperature range suitable for the growth of Caridina spinosa is 18-26 ℃. When breeding, it is recommended to control the water temperature at about 22 degrees Celsius, which can make them grow faster. In winter, if the water temperature is very low, heating rods are needed to maintain the water temperature.
2. Water quality: They prefer neutral water and can survive in water with a PH value between 6.5 and 7.3. However, if the water is too acidic or alkaline, they will not survive. Before putting the shrimp into the tank and changing the water for the shrimp, the PH value of the water should be measured in advance to ensure that it is reused within the appropriate range.
3. Feeding: When breeding, artificial shrimp feed can be used. Feeding about once every 1-2 days is OK. They do not need to be fed frequently, because they can eat the algae in the water tank without worrying about starvation. And if the amount of feeding is too large, the remaining feed will remain in the water, causing pollution to the water quality.
