Interesting Notes:

This species spends a fair amount of time searching directly on the floor to find it’s food.

These shrimp use their “Fans” which are essentially their hands to filter micro particles (algae, cyclops, etc.) in the water to eat.

Should be kept in small groups of at least 4-5 and watch them line up for food!
