Bee Shrimp and the Niskai Method
A practical exploration of wild caridina cantonensis habitats and how to easily replicate these conditions in aquariums for biotopic breeding set-ups
Caridina cantonensis, aka “Bee” or “Crystal” Shrimp are endemic to the mountain streams of Southern China, Taiwan and Northern Vietnam. Fed and fuelled by summer meltwater from high in the mountains, these streams are shallow, fast-flowing and cool water that is noted for having an extremely low mineral content buffered only by trace minerals that seep into the waterways as the stream passes through granite bedrock.
