Red Nosed Shrimp (pinocchio, Captive Breed)

Pinocchio Shrimp, scientifically known as Caridina gracilirostris, are a unique and fascinating variety of freshwater shrimp that have gained attention in the aquarium hobby. They are characterized by their distinctively elongated and curved rostrum (nose) resembling the nose of the fictional character Pinocchio.

These shrimp showcase a semi-translucent body with a notable and eye-catching rostrum that can extend far beyond their heads. The rostrum's length and curvature can vary between individual shrimp, leading to a charming and whimsical appearance reminiscent of the character from the classic fairy tale.

Like other Caridina shrimp, Pinocchio Shrimp are relatively small, reaching sizes of around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) when fully grown. They are known for their sensitivity to water parameters, requiring stable and specific conditions to thrive.

To maintain the well-being of Pinocchio Shrimp, it's crucial to provide them with suitable water conditions, including low pH levels and soft water. Ample hiding places through live plants or decorations should be provided, along with a specialized diet that meets their nutritional requirements.

The unique appearance of Pinocchio Shrimp makes them a sought-after choice for dedicated aquarium enthusiasts who appreciate their quirky and visually captivating characteristics. Their distinct rostrum and intriguing behavior add a touch of charm and novelty to freshwater aquarium setups.
