Characteristics of the Prawns Caridina Crystal Black CBS "Black Bee"

It can be used up to a maximum. 3 cm tall and around 2 years old, the males being a little smaller and thinner than the females.

Like most other species of baby prawn, Shrimp bee it is an absolute omnivore and an extremely peaceful species. Aquarium inhabitants have nothing to fear here. Keeping them together with fish that don't chase animals is possible without any problem.

When the animals have settled down and are comfortable, the female releases up to 30 almost fully grown young animals approximately every 5 to 6 weeks, of which quite a few young animals can still pass in a well planted tank (hiding places), even when there are fish .

In practice this has been shown to be most valuable under really optimal conditions and, as a general rule, one litter is expected every 2-3 months, of which not all young animals always reach adulthood; therefore, an "overpopulation" is unlikely.
