Physical Characteristics
- Color: Pure white or translucent, providing a beautiful contrast in planted aquariums.
- Size: Adults typically grow to about 0.75–1.25 inches.
- Eggs: The "snowball" name refers to the pure white eggs carried by the females.
Behavior and Role in the Aquarium
- Peaceful: They have a gentle nature and coexist harmoniously with other small tank inhabitants.
- Scavengers: Snowball Shrimp are excellent at cleaning the tank by grazing on algae, biofilm, and uneaten food.
- Breeding: They reproduce in the tank, with babies being miniature versions of the adults and requiring specific care to avoid being eaten by other fish or sucked into filters.
Care and Environment
- Tank Setup: A minimum tank size of 4 gallons is suggested, though 20 gallons is recommended for a thriving colony. A sponge-covered filter intake is important for tanks with baby shrimp.
- Temperature: A stable temperature range is crucial for maintaining their vibrant white color.
- Water Parameters: They tolerate a wide range of water parameters, making them suitable for beginners.
- Diet: A varied diet of algae, algae tablets, and shrimp pellets is recommended.
