Description
Bamboo shrimp hail from the mast moving rivers and streams in Southeast Asia. Growing up to 10cm in length, these peaceful freshwater shrimps are often referred to as gentle giants. Bamboo shrimps are red and brown in colour with a creamy stripe along their back.
Bamboo shrimp require a strong current to filter food. If they are scavenging on the bottom of the tank, looking for food, they are extremely hungry. Add food directly into the flow if needed. Bamboo shrimp like hiding places – offer these by providing driftwood and plants.
Filter feeders, they filter food out of the flow of the tank, if they are looking for food at the bottom of the tank, consider adding some fine flake food or EBO artemia powder.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
