Special requirements

  • Copper Sensitivity

    Like all ornamental invertebrates, they are highly sensitive to copper-based medications and treatments.

  • Predator Avoidance

    Do not house with loaches, puffers, or other larger carnivores that may feed on small shrimp.

  • Breeding Safety

    Use a sponge filter in breeding setups to maximize the survival of the miniature hatchlings.
