The Zebra Babaulti Shrimp is a visually striking Caridina with alternating black and white banding that resembles a zebra pattern. Its bold coloration makes it a prized addition to aquariums, bringing elegance and contrast to planted setups and dedicated shrimp tanks alike.
Shipped at 0.5–0.75 inches, these juveniles are hardy and will reach about 1–1.2 inches, with their zebra pattern becoming sharper and more vibrant as they mature.
Care & Aquarium Requirements:
Zebra Babaulti Shrimp thrive in soft, stable, slightly acidic water (pH 5.8–6.8, temperature 68–74°F). Planted aquariums with moss, driftwood, and biofilm-rich surfaces provide natural grazing areas and hiding spots. Peaceful in nature, they are best kept in species-focused Caridina setups or with other gentle, compatible shrimp varieties.
Breeding Information:
Females carry eggs until hatching, producing offspring that typically inherit the distinctive zebra banding. Stable water conditions and species-focused aquariums ensure healthy juveniles and maintain the intensity of the pattern.
