NORTH QLD ALGAE SHRIMP 2CM

The North Queensland Algae Shrimp, scientifically known as Caridina sp. ‘North Queensland’, is a vibrant and industrious freshwater shrimp native to the rivers and streams of Northern Queensland, Australia. This species is particularly valued for its striking colouration, typically exhibiting shades of green, blue, and red, which make it a visually appealing addition to any aquarium. Known for its effectiveness in controlling algae growth, this shrimp plays a crucial role in maintaining clean and healthy aquatic environments. These shrimp are peaceful and sociable creatures, making them ideal for community tanks. They can coexist harmoniously with small, non-aggressive fish and other shrimp species. Keeping them in groups not only enhances their natural behaviours but also increases their breeding potential, allowing aquarists to observe their fascinating life cycle and reproductive habits.
