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.
