SULAWESI MALAWA FRESHWATER SHRIMP

10 +1 TO COVER ANY DOA'S

Tank Raised Homebred

Malawa shrimp are so hardy and tough that they can be easily recommended for beginners. They are bulletproof. In addition, they are very curious, bold, and fun to watch. Malawa shrimp do not interbreed with other dwarf shrimp species, so you can easily keep them in a community tank.

Like most freshwater shrimp, Malawa shrimp are scavengers and omnivores. Therefore, they are not picky eaters. On the contrary, I would say that they are pretty aggressive eaters.

Malawa shrimp will eat just about any food they manage to find. Therefore, in a well-established aquarium, they usually can find enough supply of food (algae and biofilm) by themselves.

We do not guarantee livestock beyond the day of arrival. It is the customer’s responsibility to research any items they are interested in prior to purchase in order to ensure a suitable environment for the animal to thrive. Incompatibility with tank mates should not be overlooked and is not our responsibility. Water quality and the correct diet will help with the long term health of the animal you are purchasing. Poor maintenance routines, poor water quality, and unhealthy diet is the responsibility of the hobbyist to correct.
