They are incredibly active and are voracious algae eaters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe don't know exactly what species these Green Leaf Algae Eating Shrimp are, but they are similar to Caridina typus in many ways, so we are going with Caridina cf. typus. To me, the pattern down the back and the bulkier body shape help distinguish them from Amano Shrimp. Also, our Green Leaf Algae eating shrimp only have 2 rows of dots down their sides whereas our Amanos have 3-4 rows of dots on their sides. This might not hold true at a species level, but seems to hold true for the strains we carry. One last distinction is that the Green Leaf Algae Eating Shrimp are highly varied in color. Some are rusty orange, others green, brown, or grey and some have quite a bit of yellow on them. They seem to be able to change their colors. Whatever the species difference, what matters to me as an aquarist is that the Green Leaf Algae Eating Shrimp seems to have the edge when it comes to eating the most algae and being able to consume tougher kinds of algae.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome customers have successfully reproduced these, but the babies do appear to go through a larval stage, so they are going to be a bit more challenging to propagate than your average Cherry Shrimp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShrimp can climb out of tanks, so a tight fitting lid is helpful especially in the first few weeks as they get used to their new accommodations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese shrimp are extremely adaptable to many types of water conditions.
