Red Wine Pandas - Caridina

Each Red Wine Panda is selectively bred from high-grade Crystal and Taiwan Bee lines to achieve perfect patterns, strong genetics, and vivid color contrast.

These shrimp thrive in soft, slightly acidic water, making them ideal for experienced shrimp keepers who enjoy maintaining precision parameters. With proper care, they’ll display their full beauty and even produce high-quality offspring. Their calm, gentle nature makes them excellent tankmates in specialized Caridina setups.

 Species Details:

• Scientific Name: Caridina cf. cantonensis var. “Red Wine Panda”

 Recommended Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 68°F – 74°F

 Care Tips:
Red Wine Pandas prefer soft, remineralized RO water and a stable, well-cycled environment. Keep parameters consistent and avoid sudden fluctuations. A substrate designed for Caridina shrimp, such as active soil that buffers pH, helps maintain optimal conditions. Provide mosses and botanicals for grazing surfaces and safe molting.
