LA Purple Metallics come from my advanced nanashi line. The patterns on the metalllics come out more like basic nanashi (not advanced), but the color is where they really shine. They will have white/blue stripes and cheek spots, and that beautiful purple metallic base. The metallic really shines when the light hits them just right. They're breeding fairly true at this point, upwards of 30-50% of the babies will be metallic, and a small % could have advanced markings (fuller cheek spots, better tiger striping, and these markings presenting more blue than white).
Shrimp ship on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays only. All orders will ship same day if placed by 11AM EST. Please state in notes at checkout if you need your shrimp shipped on a specific day.
Purple Metallic Pintos are a bit more advanced hybrid caridina. They are more sensitive to their parameters, and fluctuations within those confines. Use a high-quality soil, bee shrimp specific gh booster, and keep the temperatures steady.
Purple Metallic Pinto Shrimp require soft room temperature water with a range of:
pH of 5-6
gH of 4-6
kH of 0
Very healthy and sturdy upon arrival.. Having a good breeder that’s not half way around the world is great. Keep up the good work Lucky.
