FAQ’s

What are Opae Ula?

·         Opae Ula (Halocaridina rubra), also known as Hawaiian Shrimp, Volcano Shrimp, Red Shrimp, and many other names, are an endemic shrimp found in brackish water ponds.

Where do these shrimp live?

·         The natural habitat of these critters is in the Hawaiian Islands only, which makes them endemic. They are found in anchialine ponds primarily on the Big Island, Maui, as well as O’ahu.

How big do these shrimp get?

·         The Opae Ula doesn’t grow much larger than ½ inch.

What do I feed my shrimp?

·   Opae Ula eat algae that naturally grows inside the aquarium, visibly or not. There is no need to feed any additional algae to your pet shrimp once the tank is set and established.

Can I use any kind of water? Opae Ula need a special mixture of water to survive. The water in your aquarium should never be changed. To compensate for water loss due to evaporation, simply add distilled or bottled water.

Where do I place my jar? Keep your shrimp aquarium away from direct sunlight. A location in your home that is away from direct sunlight and a source of heat or cold (such as air-conditioning) is best. 

An Opae' Ula Aquarium in your home or office will bring you ENDLESS hours of enjoyment, relaxation and conversation.
