Special requirements

  • Water Softening

    Prefers slightly acidic water; use of Indian almond leaves or driftwood is recommended to naturally release tannins and soften the water.

  • Established Environment

    Requires a mature substrate and a well-established aquarium with sufficient biofilm and algae growth.

  • Breeding Safety

    If breeding, hatchlings should be moved to a separate aquarium as most tank mates will consume the young shrimp.
