Opae Ula are amazing shrimp that can survive the absolute harshest conditions. They have the appearance of a mini lobster. They are in every way a super shrimp. They will outlive any other dwarf shrimp such as cherry red shrimp and take 100% less maintenance than ANY OTHER SHRIMP OR FISH TANK OUT THERE. I have more success keeping and raising Opae Ula then i have had with BRINE SHRIMP. I know it is sad : ( !! They make the BEST desktop aquariums!!) show them off to your co-workers or display them in your school classroom and watch all the amazed faces. There is nothing else like these shrimp on the market and here they are with the best price online. Do not miss this chance to own these shrimp. You will be buying my shrimp out of my breeding tanks this will include adults, teenagers, not babies.
message me with any questions you may have about shipping, my tanks, bulk orders, pet store special pricing, etc.

Opae Ula Care
These can be a ( NO maintenance shrimp) requiring no care. But to keep them breeding and happy keep the nitrates down and water clean. Feed weekly so they grow and mature faster. Feed more often with the more in your tank.
Breeding
They Breed slower then most common shrimp because they give birth to less at a time. The eggs have a very high hatch rate compared to other shrimp. Female shrimp should have places to hide and lay eggs. They might breed slower then most shrimp but they also live 20 times as long making it so the numbers will just keep adding over the years to come.
Behavior
They are very non aggressive and spend their day grazing and swimming around doing flips etc. in the water. They are very playfully and very entertaining to watch them eat with each other. HOWEVER my newest shrimp ( i call the alpha Opae Ula add a whole new excitement to the tank as they boss the other shrimp around due to there abnormal size ( 2-3 times bigger). I recommend one or two of these for each tank to add a lot more life and action. The alpha Opae do not harm the other shrimp they will just move them out of there way.
side notes:
If you want some extra help with the algae in your tank add my PIPIPI snails i have for sale !!!!!!
Check out our real authentic lava rock auctions !!!!!!!!
These shrimp are sold in "exospheres" as desktop aquariums beware of these systems they starve and kill the shrimp they live up to 4 years in these but slowly starve to death why kill something that soon that can breed and live up to 20 years?!! Always have a open air system for Opae Ula.
