Red Santa (Super Crystal Red)

The Super Crystal Red Shrimp — also known as Red Santa — is a vibrant and captivating Caridina shrimp featuring intense opaque red coloration with minimal white markings. As a striking variation of Bee Shrimp, these shrimp stand out beautifully in any aquascape with their deep, uniform red tones.

These shrimp are home-bred and beginner-friendly, sharing nearly identical care requirements with Crystal Red Shrimp. Their bright color and peaceful nature make them a favorite for both hobbyists and breeders looking to add a splash of red to their tank.

Each shrimp may feature:

• ❤️ Opaque deep red shell with minimal white markings
• 🔁 Easy breeding similar to Crystal Red Shrimp
• 🌿 Active grazers that thrive in planted tanks

All shrimp are disease-free and aquarium-safe, bred in clean, shrimp-only environments to ensure strong health and smooth acclimation.

Note: All Caridina shrimp are sold as unsexed juveniles, typically between 1/4" and 1/2" in size when possible.

🌊 Recommended Water Parameters for Super Crystal Red Shrimp

• Temperature: 68–72°F (20–22°C)
• pH: 5.5–6.5
• GH: 3–4
• KH: 0–1
• TDS: 100–150 ppm
• Tank Size: Minimum 5 gallons
• Substrate: Active substrate (lowers pH)
• Tank Mates: Shrimp-only or peaceful nano fish only

Tips for Success:
Ensure your tank is fully cycled with plenty of biofilm and plants for grazing. Keep ammonia and nitrite at zero, and nitrates under 25 ppm. Perform 10–20% water changes weekly, and feed only 2–3 times per week to avoid overfeeding. A well-established tank is key for shrimplets to survive, as they rely heavily on biofilm during their early days.
