Meet the Wood Shrimp - the quirky crustacean that's sure to make a splash in your aquarium. These little guys are great at cleaning algae and debris, keeping your tank looking fresh and fish-friendly. Plus, they add a touch of natural beauty to any aquatic environment. The Wood Shrimp is a filter feeder and will sit where there's good current and filter feed from there. If the tank water is too clean the shrimp can starve, you can crumble food such as plec wafers into the current and the shrimp will feed from the particles it catches. If you keep a few Amano shrimp in the tank, the females should provide a steady stream of planktonic larvae which the Wood Shrimp will happily consume as they float by in the stream. A ratio of about 9 female Amano's seems to keep 3 adult Wood shrimp from picking the floor in a clean aquarium. Like Amano shrimp, Wood shrimp require salt water to reproduce. Thus far, there have been no reported successes in captivity.
