GREEN BABAULTI SHRIMP – 印度绿米【10 PCs / SET】

Babaulti shrimp are name for Guy Babault, a French collector of fish, reptiles, and birds. In 1914, he discovered this species of dwarf shrimp in the freshwater waterways of India. Green Babaulti shrimp are just one color variant of the Caridina babaulti species – a group which also includes Indian Zebra shrimp, Malaya shrimp, Rainbow shrimp, and more. Green Babaulti Shrimp are a fairly rare specimen within the aquarium hobby. Dwarf shrimp are hard enough to find at pet stores, and you’d be especially hard-pressed to find these in any pet store in the United States. They can be difficult to come by even online, which is surprising given their unique and striking colors.

Though these are called Green Babaulti shrimp, almost half of our stock is born with a sun-kissed orange coloration. Each order of these shrimp will likely come with a mix of the neon green and orange colored shrimp. The colors on these shrimp make a great, eye-catching contrast against dark substrate and against other colors of shrimp when placed in an aquarium with them.

These are freshwater shrimp and can live in almost any freshwater aquarium due to their extremely adaptable nature. Dwarf shrimp like these are very popular for planted tanks and community tanks, and many people use them in large aquariums for waste management and algae control. They breed very quickly, forming a colony that works as a very effective cleaning crew and enhances any aquarium with their beautiful colors.
