    The green rhinoceros shrimp are characterized by their very slim, elongated 
    body and, compared to other shrimps of the genus Caridina, the very long
    rostrum (what we would most likely call a nose). The color of the
    green rhinoceros shrimp, as the name suggests, is green, although some
    individuals can also appear more yellowish. The natural occurrence of the
    green rhinoceros shrimp is found in India, where the animals are mainly found
    in brackish mangrove swamps. The animals seem to be very adaptable and can
    also be found in freshwater bodies of water. For keeping in your home
    aquarium you have the choice to keep the animals in pure fresh water,
    somewhat harder tap water would certainly be an advantage here, or in
    brackish water with a salinity (salt content) of approx. 15 g sea salt per
    liter. When fully grown, the green rhinoceros shrimp reach up to
    4 centimeters, which is quite a size compared to other dwarf shrimp.
    Like other dwarf shrimp, the males of Caridina hodgarti remain
    approx. 0.5 cm smaller than the females.
    Not only the final size is remarkable, also that the life expectancy of the
    green rhinoceros shrimp is extraordinary for dwarf shrimp, so the animals
    can reach a maximum in the age of up to six years. Green rhinoceros shrimp are omnivorous and prefer to graze on algae and soil
    for edible components. In addition to sufficient plant-based food in the
    form of dried leaves and the like, you should also provide sufficient animal
    proteins, suitable feed would be frozen food, live food (Artemia nauplii)
    and special, protein-containing shrimp food in flakes or even better in
    granulate form.
