These shrimp are well-suited for freshwater aquariums and are renowned for their algae-eating abilities, contributing to a cleaner tank environment.

Our recommendations:

The shrimp do well in a sizeable colony of between 10-20 shrimp. This is to ensure there is a good mixture of sexes within the colony.

Usual maintenance: Feed the shrimp at least three times a week, with a wide range of foods. At Shrimp Corner, we feed our shrimp with Vegetable Shrimp Bars , which is plant base protein containing seaweed, providing lean and optimal nutrients for shrimp. Once a week we feed our shrimp with Protein Bars, this is a protein base food to increase the growth rate of our shrimp, the shrimp breed faster & females can carry more eggs. All of these foods were developed by us, over 10 years of breeding experience, we have bred thousands of shrimp

On a serious note, do not feed shrimp with any foods contain copper.
