Bamboo Shrimp

A peaceful filter-feeding shrimp with fan-like feeding appendages. Adults can reach roughly 8–10 cm and often perch where a current delivers suspended food.

Aquarium and care

Provide a mature aquarium with a reliable gentle-to-moderate feeding current, good oxygenation, secure perches, and hiding places for molting. They need food in suspension; constant scraping of the substrate can signal inadequate feeding.

Feeding

Offer appropriately fine shrimp-safe foods dispersed into the water current in small controlled amounts. Avoid excessive powder feeding that degrades water quality.

Temperament and tank mates

Keep with peaceful fish and other non-predatory invertebrates. Predators and aggressive bottom dwellers may injure shrimp, especially during molts.
