Today, I will talk about how to set up a Caridina shrimp tank from A to Z, so that we could give them the best life possible. After all, this is our responsibility as their keepers.  To cut the long story short. The main difference between Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp tank set up is that Caridina species require specific water parameters in aquariums (relatively low pH, KH, and GH). To achieve this, we have to use special water remineralizers. Unfortunately many Caridina shrimp spec

Unfortunately, most pet stores sell them as easy to care for, shelf pets. While they are easy pets in some ways, they do have very specific needs that must be met to ensure their survival. In this article, I will talk about the tank setup for the Hermit crabs. So that we could give them the best life possible. After all, this is our

Owning a freshwater crab can be a very worthwhile and unique experience. So, if you are looking to add them to your pet family, in order to offer them a safe environment, it is important to do research on how to take care of crabs and how to set up a tank for them.
