Special requirements
Aesthetic Enhancement
Using dark-colored substrate is recommended to dramatically emphasize their brilliant orange coloration.
Acclimation Note
New arrivals often appear clear; full orange coloration develops once the shrimp has properly acclimated and adjusted to the environment.
Breeding Safety
Use a sponge filter in breeding setups to prevent the miniature young from being sucked into the filtration system.
