They are easy to breed in a home aquarium, very tolerant of a wide range of water parameters for a shrimp, and fun to watch explore every corner of your aquarium. These shrimp exhibit a fascinating reproductive process beginning with the female molting and sending out pheromones to signal to the males she is ready to breed. After mating, the female will hold her eggs under her tail with her swimmerettes to keep them clean and aerated until they hatch into tiny shrimplets. As the shrimp grow, they molt many times and will also molt when introduced to a new environment, so they should always be provided with a mineral source such as cuttlebone, shells, or mineral balls to feed on and rebuild their exoskeleton.  Due to the fact these shrimp are very small and have almost no defenses against predation, we do not recommend keeping them with
