African Giant Fan Shrimp

Picture
African Giant Fan Shrimp need a densely planted aquarium and many hiding places. They are very shy and will hide most of the time. They will never harm any other creatures due to the fact that they eat microscopic creatures in the water and nothing else.

Profile
Care: Easy
Size: 18cm (7.1inches)
Tank: 20 gallons (75L)
Temp: 23-28C (73-82F)
Food: Eat microscopic creatures that are naturally in the tank, however, can be fed zooplankton and phyplankton if it looks like it is malnourished.
pH: 6.5-7.5

Breeding
African Fan Shrimp are hard to sex and breeding them in an aquarium has not yet been accomplished.

Note: do not let copper in the aquarium because it is lethal for shrimp! Check if the products you put into your aquarium have copper because if they do then they are not shrimp friendly.
