Bamboo Shrimp

Fan Shrimp or Atyopsis moluccensis are a freshwater species native to West Africa and South America. They are found in freshwater streams and rivers. These shrimp are unique in the fact that they are filter feeders. They have long claspers that catch food particles in the water currents. We feed these shrimp a rotation of Shrimp King Atyopsis, Glasgarten Bacter AE, Glasgarten Betaglucan, and Shrimp King Baby. You can also take pellet foods and grind them down to a fine powder for feeding.
