Giant African shrimp (Atyopsis gaboensis) is best kept in a mature, fully cycled aquarium with stable water, gentle filtration, grazing surfaces, moss or plants, and no copper-based treatments. Keep water changes steady and avoid sudden swings in temperature or pH.
Giant African shrimp (Atyopsis gaboensis) is safest with peaceful nano fish, other compatible shrimp, and snails. Avoid large or predatory fish, copper medication, and newly set up tanks.
Feed lightly around the listed diet: Filter feeds on microparticles, powdered food, baby brine shrimp, spirulina dust. Shrimp also graze on biofilm and algae, so a mature tank is more important than heavy feeding. Remove leftovers before they affect water quality.
Check the live stock status, current size, and any variant information on this page before ordering. We pack livestock for tracked UK delivery with live arrival support, and recommend slow acclimation into a mature aquarium after delivery.
