Short Nose Shrimp (CARIDINA LONGIROSTRIS) is an unusual freshwater species that is native to Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. It is among the best algae-eating species of freshwater shrimp, so it is a very valuable maintenance shrimp. Some say these shrimps are better algae eater than Amanos and can eat certain varieties of algae that Amanos won't touch (such as Black Beard Algae). Short Nose Shrimp displays a nice yellow/red stripe though its body and nose making them unique. This shrimp is easy to care for as they can be acclimated to both Neocaridina or Caridina parameters, as well as tap water.

Water Parameter: Ph 6.2-7.0 TDS 120-300 GH 4-8 KH 1-4 Temperature 72-75F, can be acclimated to either Cardina or neocaridina parameters.
