For
the first time we can offer the very pretty, black-and-white “Mustang
Shrimp”. The dwarf shrimps belong – according to the “godfather of dwarf
shrimps”, Werner Klotz – to the species Paracaridina zijinica.
Regarding keeping and breeding they do not differ from the well known
dwarf shrimp “Crystal Red”.
By
the way: this species of dwarf shrimp, the Crystal Red, which is the
first dwarf shrimp that appeared in the market at all, finally has been
described scientifically under the name of Caridina logemanni Klotz
& van Rintelen, 2014, named in honor for the brothers Logemann, well
known dwarf shrimp breeders.
And
in the very same work, the also very well known Tiger Shrimp has been
named as Caridina mariae Klotz & van Rintelen, 2014, dedicated to
the wife of Werner Klotz, Maria.
For
our customers: Paracaridina zijinica has code 485388 on our stocklist.
Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
