Red King Kong Extreme Shrimp

Red King Kong Extreme Shrimp, scientifically known as Caridina cantonensis var. “Red King Kong Extreme”, are a highly sought-after and selectively bred variant of the Red King Kong Shrimp.

Red King Kong Extreme Shrimp exhibit a deep, rich red coloration that can range from a vibrant crimson to a dark wine red. Their bodies are typically opaque, allowing their intense red color to stand out. What sets them apart from standard Red King Kong’s is the lack of white sections and patterns, creating more of a solid red appearance. They may have smaller spots of white occasionally, mainly at the tail.

Red King Kong Extreme Shrimp are relatively small and usually grow to a size of around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) when fully mature. Their compact size makes them suitable for various aquarium setups, including shrimp-only tanks or nano aquariums.

Red King Kong Extreme Shrimp are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful fish and invertebrates that share similar water parameters. However, it is essential to consider their specific care requirements and water conditions to ensure their well-being and coloration.

Red King Kong Extreme Shrimp require stable water conditions and specific care to thrive. They prefer soft and slightly acidic water with appropriate temperature and quality. Providing them with a well-planted aquarium, suitable hiding spots, and a balanced diet will help maintain their health and vibrant coloration.
