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.
