Typical bee shrimps show few requirements on water quality. Adversely, crystal red shrimps were very sensitive to water quality and the water must be thoroughly clean. The existence of NH3 is never allowable and this is also a major fatal cause to crystal red shrimps.

Survival Conditions: PH value: 5.0~8.0 KH value: 1~6 Water Temperature: 15~28 Celsius Degrees

Breeding Conditions: PH value: 6.2~6.8, KH value:1~2, Water Temperature: 24~26 Celsius Degrees
When the water temperature is 25 celsius degrees, it optimal for egg hatching, shrimp life expectancy will be shortened under high temperature, because every increased celsius degree will make oxygen solving in water increased. In other words, shrimps bred under low temperature will be merited with longer life expectancy. If PH value higher than 7.5 will also cause imminent risk, this situation should be also noteworthy. Whenever there is a known fact that if a large proportion of aquatic water is replaced, the remaining chlorine and significantly fluctuating ph values will cause shock or bad health to shrimps. If the situation lasts from a few hours or some days, it will naturally cause death finally. Thus, be very careful to replace aquatic water! Whenever there is any faded body color happening to crystal red shrimps, it exactly means the beginning of water deteriorating! At this moment, the organic objects and droppings hidden in bottom soils should be cleaned. 1/3 proportion of aquatic water should be replaced thereafter.

Under the soft water condition with weak acidity, crystal red shrimps frequently decorticate with rapid growth available.

Under the hard water condition with weak acidity, crystal red shrimps seldom decorticate with slow growth resultantly.
