Bamboo Shrimp

Yeh bamboo shrimp are pretty cool. Make sure you have sufficient flow in your aquarium beacuse they are filter feeders and get their meals from food flowing in the currents.

 

[binman]

yeah man its all good had them for about 5 months they are always filtering the current whilst on top a piece of bog wood my male is getting huge!

 

[Matty P]

Yeh they get pretty big, some up to about 12cm (5"). Just make sure your tank is big enough for them.

 

[binman]

[Matty P]

hey i was wondering, in the near future i'm hopeing to set up a tank with a betta siamese fish, would a bamboo shrimp be ok with it if i provide shelter for when moulting shell when vunerable?

 

[Matty P]

Emmm... not 100% sure, better asking the guys in the bettas section.

 

[Matty P]
