Diet: Scavenger that feeds continually. Requires very little feeding in a well-established aquarium containing algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter. In less mature aquariums, high quality dry foods with high plant content can be fed multiple times daily.

Plants: Live aquatic plants not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your aquarium but also contribute to the overall health of your shrimp by providing hiding spots, grazing areas, and oxygenation. Consider including easy-to-care-for plants such as Java Moss, Anubias, and Marimo Moss Balls.

Aquascaping: Creating a visually appealing aquascape not only makes your aquarium a centerpiece but also provides a stimulating environment for your shrimp. Utilize driftwood, rocks, and substrate to create caves, ledges, and open spaces. Keep in mind the preferences of your shrimp and ensure that the aquascape provides ample hiding spots and grazing areas while maintaining open swimming areas.
