This is the prefect shrimps to replace the bulky , lazy Yamato minus all negative aspect of yamato shrimp.
~It won't attack others shrimps even shrimplets.
~It won't grab food and run away.
~It won't crossbreed with any known shrimps- i.e CRS, Tiger, Green shrimp & all neocaridina type i.e Fire red, Blue Jelly , Yellow etc.
~It always hungry and just clear out all food debris and most algae(they like staghorn & hair algae and will take on BBA if food is scarce)
~It Not colorless like Yamato, infact it change color due to temperature , Ph and or under threat/stress)(refer picture)
~It give birth to larvae, if have fish/fry in tank they can feed on those larvae. If you want to breed them, you need green water tank (in total freshwater though).
~More hardy then yamato , cherry , comparable with healthy ghost shrimps. (a well cycled tank will do, can survive in ph6++~ph8.2, be logical please don't expect it to survive in ammonia,nitrite leeched tank, even the super-shrimp opae ula can't make it.)
~Price is comparable to Yamato, just abit more or less, cheaper then a fire red though.
~It the only local shrimps well known internationally but absent from local LFS for > 5 yrs.
