Wood / Bamboo Shrimp (Atyopsis moluccensis) is a peaceful fan shrimp that feeds by filtering fine particles from moving water. It needs mature, clean flow and regular fine foods, not just a still shrimp tank.

Quick Facts

Scientific name: Atyopsis moluccensis
Adult size: Up to about 8 cm
Care level: Moderate
Temperament: Peaceful
Best setup: Mature aquarium with oxygen-rich flow
Feeding style: Fan filter feeder

Aquarium Setup

Provide a mature aquarium with strong but controlled flow, oxygenation, wood or rock perches and shaded retreats. The shrimp should be able to sit facing the current and fan food from the water.

Feeding

Offer powdered shrimp foods, finely crushed flake, spirulina dust and other suspended microfoods near the current. If it starts scraping the substrate constantly, the water column may not contain enough food.

Tank Mates

Keep with peaceful community fish, snails and non-aggressive shrimp. Avoid fin nippers, predatory fish, copper medication and tanks where boisterous fish outcompete it at feeding time.
