Sure they are sensitive ones. Also they do not like the colder weather. Below 25 celsius they die.
The one breeder i pasted worked well. My breeder friend also ordered 10+ from him and all is in great condition. Maybe this is just the breeder.
On the other hand these shrimps are hard to keep and breed. From the original 12 pieces i lost 7 in a few months. Not enough aeration? Probably. I keep the water warm 27-28 celsius etc.
At the same time my breeder friend has all of it still. And there the shrimps are breeding. Nothing more than soil and Stones in his aquarium. Just like the place these shrimps live.

Hello,
I've got 4 of these guys and had them for 10 days. They seem to be doing OK so far happily munching away with evidence that at least 2 have molted.
I bought them as an impulse buy before doing any research (they just looked so cool in the shop!). I've since realised that my conditions aren't quite right;
They're in there with my fish, though there are lots of places to hide (& they hide very well!) &
my pH is about 6.5!!
But they seem to be doing fine so far
