The shrimp are very active and add a lot of visual interest to my 20-gallon tank. They seem to be healthy and stay calm around my fish. I’ve kept them for three months and they’ve grown steadily.

Beautiful shrimp with a unique appearance. They eat algae and small food bits, which helps keep the tank clean. A bit shy at first, but they settled in well after a week.

I love the contrast of their black and white coloring. They’re easy to care for and don’t seem to compete with other tank inhabitants. Great addition to a community tank.
