Zebra Caridina Babaulti Shrimp

Caridina Babaulti is a diverse group of shrimp. Since there is a lack of scientific research done on these shrimp, there aren't very good classifications. What we do know is that the majority of shrimp within this species come from India. 

Zebra striped Caridina Babaulti are absolute stunning shrimp. They are a wild color form and breed easily in freshwater. They are hardy and are a great alternative to Neocaridina shrimp. 

The care for Zebra striped Babaulti shrimp is the same as most Caridina species. They do not require special attention and tend to be accepting of a multitude of water parameters including Neocaridina parameters. Although, we suggest keeping parameters close to what we keep them in:
