Atyopsis Pilipes
|
Atyopsis Pilipes are filter feeders so they should be kept in only aquariums that are well established and have quite a bit of micro foods floating around the water column. Care for Atyopsis Pilipes is much like care of its close realitive Atyopsis Moluccensis (Bamboo Shrimp) ,
Atyopsis Pilipes are extremely non-aggressive. This peaceful shrimp can be kept with anything that is not a threat to it. It will often be observed in a high flow area of the aquarium filtering the water for food. This shrimp seems to pick at the substrate much more than other filter feeding shrimp. They will not harm community tank members and can also be housed with dwarf shrimp. |
