Special requirements

  • Water Stability

    Requires an established aquarium with a mature substrate; they are more sensitive to water parameter fluctuations than other shrimp species.

  • Hatchling Protection

    If breeding, hatchlings should be moved to a separate aquarium or kept in a species-only tank as most tank mates will consume the young.

  • Acidic Preference

    Prefers slightly acidic water conditions for optimal health and shell development.
