Caridina Pedicultrata
''Caridina'' is a genus of freshwater Atyidae, atyid Caridea, shrimp. They are widely found in tropical or subtropical water in Asia, Oceania and Africa. They are filter feeding, filter-feeders and omnivorous scavengers. They range from 0.9–9.8 mm (''Caridina cantonensis, C. cantonensis'') to 1.2–7.4 mm (''Caridina serrata, C. serrata'') in carapace length. Taxonomy and species There is evidence for hybrid (biology), hybridization between sympatric taxon, taxa, requiring care when interpreting molecular phylogenetic analyses that do not use a large number of specimens. The genus ''Caridina'' includes the following species: *''Caridina ablepsia'' Guo, Jiang & Zhang, 1992 *''Caridina acuta'' Liang, Chen & W.-X. Li, 2005 *''Caridina acutirostris'' Schenkel, 1902 *''Caridina africana'' Kingsley, 1883 *''Caridina alba'' J. Li & S. Li, 2010 *''Caridina alphonsi'' Bouvier, 1919 *''Caridina amnicolizambezi'' Richard & Clark, 2009 *''Caridina amoyensis'' Liang & Yan, 1977 *''Ca ...

The dorsal surface has a white stripe that runs from the head to the tail and the eyes are black. Females are easily distinguished from males by their more elongated lower row of dots. ''Caridina multidentata'' fare best in temperatures of 18 °C to 28 °C. They are more active at higher temperatures, but may also have a shorter lifespan. They prefer a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. As with all crustaceans, they are extremely averse to copper due to their haemocyanin blood. ''Caridina multidentata'' mate in freshwater streams and marshes. Female ...
