Livebearers

Ghost shrimp, known for its distinctive clear, is a popular choice for plant aquarium tank. these shrimp are a good algae eater.

The Orange Lobster (Cambarellus patzcuarensis 'Orange') is a dwarf crayfish prized for its vibrant orange coloration and docile temperament. Unlike larger crayfish species, these peaceful invertebrates coexist harmoniously with freshwater shrimp and community tank inhabitants. Their small size and non-aggressive behavior make them an excellent choice for planted tanks and established invertebrate setups. These selectively bred specimens display consistent coloring and are relatively hardy, adapting well to standard aquarium conditions. Ideal for aquarists seeking to add visual interest without compromising the safety of delicate shrimp populations.

The Blue Lobster is a rare dwarf crayfish native to Mexican and southern U.S. waterways, valued for its striking blue coloration. These hardy invertebrates thrive in planted aquariums and tolerate a wide pH range (6.0-7.0) and temperatures between 60-78°F, making them adaptable to various setups. However, they are opportunistic feeders with predatory tendencies toward slow-moving or bottom-dwelling fish. They efficiently consume uneaten food debris, though supplementing with sinking shrimp pellets ensures optimal nutrition. Best suited for tanks where they won't threaten compatible fish species, these crayfish are excellent scavengers for established planted systems.

Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina cf. cantonensis) are prized freshwater dwarf shrimp celebrated for their stunning red-and-white banded patterns. These delicate invertebrates demand precise water parameters—soft, acidic conditions with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8—making them ideal for experienced aquarists committed to maintaining stable, high-quality environments. Best kept in dedicated species-only tanks to ensure optimal water chemistry and minimize stress, Crystal Red Shrimp reward careful hobbyists with vibrant coloration and fascinating behavior. Their specialized requirements mean they thrive under attentive care but are not recommended for beginners or community setups.

The SAMURAI BETTA features the distinctive fin structure and vibrant coloration characteristic of the Samurai betta variety, supporting focused aquascaping and species-specific care in freshwater habitats. Its unique morphology aids in territorial display and mating behavior studies.

Endler's livebearer (Poecilia wingei) is a tiny, vibrantly colored freshwater fish from Venezuela that makes a hardy and active addition to nano aquariums.

Black bee shrimp are Shadow shrimp—also known as Taiwan shrimp—featuring a striking bee shrimp pattern. They display a distinctive black head with a white mask, and may have a black spot on the abdomen. The bluish body color shows through, combined with the deep black and opaque white characteristic of Shadow shrimp.

The origin of Shadow shrimp is debated: some believe they resulted from breeding Bee and Tiger shrimp together, while others suggest they arose as a mutation that was then selectively bred.

Females average 2.5 to 3 cm in length, while males remain slightly smaller and less robust than females. These shrimp make a striking addition to planted tanks and are compatible with peaceful community setups.
