Red King Kong Shrimp

Red King Kong Shrimp, scientifically known as Caridina cantonensis var. “Red King Kong”, are a highly sought-after and selectively bred freshwater shrimp species. They are known for their intense red coloration, unique patterns, and striking appearance.

Red King Kong 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 is the presence of white or transparent sections, creating intricate patterns and variations within the red coloration.

Red King Kong 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 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 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.
