Growing to about 2.5~3 cm maximum, this shrimp is becoming very popular with aquarists for obvious reasons. It is relatively inexpensive and its life span is much longer than Ghost shrimp which typically survives a few months in tank. Besides feeding on leftover fish food, it is also known to combat green hair algae and bush algae. The Malaysian Shrimp thrives in a wide range of water parameters, be it water temperature or pH, and is adaptive in a suitably stocked community tank.
