Description
Premium GH Conditioning Salts for Neocaridina & Cherry Shrimp
Give your Neocaridina colony the mineral foundation they need with Aqua-Pics Cherry Shrimp GH Conditioning Salts. While Cherry Shrimp are hardier than Caridina species, they still require a consistent supply of essential minerals—specifically bio-available calcium and magnesium—to construct strong exoskeletons, molt safely, and continuously breed.
Whether you are re-mineralizing pure RO/DI water or supplementing mineral-depleted tap water, Aqua-Pics GH Conditioning Salts raise General Hardness (GH) smoothly without driving up Carbonate Hardness (KH) or spiking pH. The balanced trace element mix promotes overall shrimp health, enhances bright color pigmentation, and maximizes baby shrimp survival rates.
Key Benefits:
-
Neocaridina-Specific Mineral Balance: Delivers the precise calcium-to-magnesium ratio needed by Neocaridina species for steady growth and healthy breeding cycles.
-
Supports Safe & Effortless Molting: Prevents common molting complications (such as stuck molts or shell cracking issues) by giving shrimp immediate access to vital building blocks.
-
No Impact on pH / KH: Elevates GH selectively, allowing you to maintain your chosen pH and KH parameters independently.
-
Phosphate & Nitrate Free: Ultra-pure formula ensures no unwanted nutrient spikes or algae outbreaks in your planted or dedicated shrimp tanks.
-
Ideal for RO & Soft Water: Perfect for re-mineralizing Reverse Osmosis, distilled, or rainwater to exact aquarium specifications.
Recommended For:
-
Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)
-
Color Morph Variations (Yellow, Blue Dream, Orange Sunburst, Green Jade, Snowball, Rili varieties)
-
Chocolate & Black Rose Shrimp
-
Other Neocaridina species requiring moderate General Hardness
Usage & Dosage Instructions:
-
Pre-Dissolve: Always mix the required amount into a separate bucket of fresh water (RO/DI or tap water) before introducing it to the aquarium.
-
Standard Dosing: Add salts gradually until you achieve your target GH level (recommended target for Neocaridina: 6 – 8 dGH).
-
Best Practice: Check your mixed water with a reliable GH test kit or TDS meter prior to water changes for consistent parameters.
