These small shrimp are commonly used as live food, but are also available as a community fish. Often sold as river shrimp they are harmless omnivorous scavengers, suitable for any aquarium. They should have a lot of plant cover and will eat some algae. As they are simply seen as food to some larger fish, as always care should be taken when choosing tank mates. They should be fed algae wafers and shrimp pellets supplemented with some (organic) vegetables and commercial frozen foods like artemia.
