Japanese Shrimp

Caridina Multidentata

Japonica shrimp originate from Japan and were made popular within the hobby thanks to Takashi Amano.
These shrimps can grow to about 3 to 4 cm in size.
Females grow about 1 to 2 cm larger than males.
In fully grown Japonica shrimp the difference in size is clearly visible.
The sex can also be distinguished by looking at the markings on the body.
The females have a line with longer stripes and the males have a dotted line.

The desired water temperature is around 25°C.
They like a well planted aquarium, better too many plants than too few.
They like to live in a group of at least 10 shrimps.
But the bigger the aquarium, the more plants, the bigger the group... the better.
In fact, 'more is more' is the common thread with these transparent super cleaners.

When buying Japonica shrimp, please note that the 'mini Japonica' is not the same species. The mini Japonica has almost the same name, but this smaller species can reproduce in your freshwater aquarium.
