Rhino Shrimp

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). 

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.
