Scientific Name: Caridina Babaulti
Common Name: Zebra Babaulti
Fully Grown Size: 1.6 inches (4cm)
Zebra Babaultis originate from India and certain parts of Asia. These oddballs are rarely offered in the US market making them quite unique. These shrimps can be kept with Caridinas and Neocaridinas without the risk of crossbreeding. These shrimps may look faded in their juvie stage of life but once they are adults, their color and pattern will really stand out.
These are tank-bred and can be easily breed with minimum effort needed.
These are popular among the shrimp hobby and are great for people getting into the hobby. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon. Zebra Babaultis are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate. They make excellent oddballs for an aquascape tank.
Zebra Babaultis are easy to care for as they require remineralized RO water or tap. If you are using tap, keep in mind to check for any harmful metals or chemicals in the water as all tap water is different and some aren't safe to use. When using fertilizer, make sure it does not contain copper as it is harmful to the shrimp’s health.
The shrimps you will receive will be juvies to sub adults which translate to 1.2cm to 2.3cm.

Dead on Arrival Policy
We guarantee live arrivals 100%.
Although it's rare that shrimps will arrive DOA, it does occur due to the process of shipping and the amount of stress it puts on the shrimps so we always recommend overnight shipping. In an event of an DOA, a refund or reshipment will be issued for only the DOA (not including the shipping cost).
To Claim DOA:
Shrimp arrived in perfect health and are thriving 3 weeks later. FedEx messed up the first shipment and BB was on the ball with communicating and sending out a new shipment. will definitely order again.
All arrived quickly, healthy, and alive. I even got an extra one. Great care, packaging, and shipping choices on seller's part. Will buy again. My babaulti seem pretty shy and hide/camouflage well in our planted tank, I only see 1 or 2 out of 10 in a day. But they are still my favorite.
Very cute shrimps! Several arrived deceased but I was given a shop credit for this. One arrived with red eyes and a head put on sideways. Is it what I ordered? No, but I love them very much. Their name is Lamictal, because taking that medicine made my eyes red.
This may be my best experience with shrimp through the mail. Often they get too hot, cold or hungry. I will definitely order from Billyboiaquatics again. Thanks for a great experience!
So had a dozen survive the shipping 2 weeks ago. They're in a cycled, planted tank that I had successfully raised orange rilis in.
Becuz the tank is heavily planted the most babauti shrimp I've seen at one time was 5 a week ago. Now I only see 2. I fear the worst.
I have other tanks of PRLs, PBLs, shadow pandas and fancy red, fancy black caridinas so am sad to see the babaulti not doing so well...cool shrimp tho ..
