The Green Babaulti Shrimp is a rare and vibrant Caridina species known for its lush green body coloration and peaceful nature. Its subtle metallic sheen and gentle movements make it a standout addition to planted aquariums or species-only shrimp setups, providing both beauty and activity in your tank.
Shipped at 0.5–0.75 inches, these juveniles are hardy and will grow to approximately 1–1.2 inches, with their green coloration deepening and becoming more pronounced as they mature.
Care & Aquarium Requirements:
Green Babaulti Shrimp thrive in soft, stable, slightly acidic water (pH 5.8–6.8, temperature 68–74°F). They prefer planted tanks with mosses, driftwood, and surfaces rich in biofilm for grazing. Peaceful and social, they are best kept in species-focused Caridina setups or alongside other compatible, gentle shrimp species.
