Fan filter feeder that catches particles from the water current using specialised fan-like front appendages. Needs moderate to high flow to position itself in the current for feeding. Cannot compete for sinking food at the bottom effectively.
🍽️Feeding
Fine particulate suspended foods. Dose liquid shrimp foods or powder foods into the current near the shrimp.
🐣Breeding
Larvae require brackish or marine conditions to develop. Cannot breed in freshwater. All fish are farm raised.
