Native Australian shrimp have been breeding for us nicely, so the price is going down until we clear our stocks! With their signature humped back, these guys are very clear without much colour just like in our rivers and lakes. Great for ponds outside as well as your tank to join your cleanup crew.
We also have some neocaradianas as usual:
Ghosts - $4
Red Cherries - $7
Yellows - $7
Blues - $12
These Freshwater Dwarf Shrimp are a great addition to your clean-up crew. Great Algae eaters, and easy to keep.
Temperature: Optimal 20-26°C, but they can tolerate extremes from 8-30°C in the wild.
Dwarf Shrimp are scavengers. They eat algae, bacteria and other microorganisms around the tank, and will never attack other live animals. They have a minimum bio-load and are a great addition to almost any tank's ecosystem!
Don't forget to check out our plants for combined postage and keeping the shrimp happy in transit!
Keeping with fish:
The general rule for all aquatic life is "if it fits in their mouth they will eat it." Unless you have specifically passive or vegetarian fish, shrimp may be eaten by any fish which is large enough to swallow one hole. Adult shrimp grow to 2cm in length, with juveniles being at least 1cm. Conversely, any smaller fish will live with them very happily. They may eat the baby shrimp if they breed, but if you have enough plant cover, usually enough survive to keep the colony going.
If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask!
