Natural Botanicals: Enhance the shrimp's immune system and provide essential biofilm by adding natural botanicals to the aquarium.
Social Behavior: These shrimp are peaceful and can be kept in small groups, continually replenishing and growing their population.
Origin: While they are tank-bred, wild populations are indigenous to Taiwan.
