Care notes
Fan shrimp — perches in current and fans food from water with feathery limbs. Needs moderate flow and fine suspended food (powdered food or green water). Fascinating to observe. Peaceful; will not bother other livestock.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
