Golden Calceo caridina shrimp, also called Red Calceo are one of the most unique shrimp as they have a beautiful color pattern with yellow/gold heads and their bodies have bright red stripes. When kept in the correct parameters, they can be very prolific. We have enjoyed countless hours of watching these shrimp.
Parameters in which we keep our colony with great success:
GH:7 / KH:0 / TDS:160 / pH: 6.0
Calceos can be successfully kept at GH 4-5 if preferred. Remember that you need to acclimate them to these parameters slowly.
