Know the breeding line
Care-planning notes. Confirm exact requirements for the species and source population.
- Request the breeder’s established water and mineral conditions rather than applying a universal Caridina recipe.
- Use a stable, mature aquarium with grazing surfaces and a controlled feeding routine.
- A trade grade describes appearance; it does not establish a pure species, locality or conservation breeding programme.
