Taxonomy verified as ACCEPTED unless stated otherwise.
'Crystal Black' is a colour variety obtained through breeding, not a taxon. GBIF recognises the species Caridina cantonensis; the variety has no entry of its own and never will.
The care values (pH, temperature and hardness) have no citable source: none of the accepted sources publishes invertebrate profiles. Seriously Fish has none and PlanetCatfish does not respond. A source for invertebrates is still to be agreed.
