Ornamental shrimp are selected and bred from native shrimp from all over the world.
One grandfather, two completely different destinies,
One became aquatic products and served to people's tables;
One has become an aquarium and has become a new favorite of landscaping.
Ornamental shrimp life expectancy is about 2 years, in terms of diet mainly eat vegetables, aquatic weeds, small fish and shrimp, artificial feed more omnivorous animals fish worm red worm special-shaped rat fish feed. Ornamental shrimp because of its beautiful appearance, easy to breed characteristics, has now developed into a kind of pet, showing a popular trend in the country.
The development of ornamental shrimp is also a matter of recent years. In 1996, Mr. Suzuki Usedharu used to raise incorruptible bee shrimp as a pastime, until after he bred thousands of them, he found that there were several mutant individuals with distinctive red colors, and these mutant individuals became the ancestors of all the red crystal shrimp today. This mutation is simply a weakening mutation of melanin, which occurs in many animals.
Nowadays, there are more and more types of ornamental shrimp, in the market we commonly have more than 20 kinds, a wide range of types and complex, according to its living habits and genera, at present, the mainland market mainly divides ornamental shrimp into four categories: crystal shrimp, rice shrimp, shrimp and Sulawesi shrimp.
1. Crystal shrimp strains
The development of crystal shrimp originated in Japan, in 1996 Mr. Suzuki Hisayasu brought the rainbow diamond shrimp native to Hong Kong back to Japan, and after 6 years of long cultivation and 15 generations of purification, it has become what it is today.
Crystal shrimp are highly ornamental aquatic creatures due to their red and white body color, and only a few amateur players can breed, most of them from merchants. Crystal shrimp are most prosperous in the northeast, Beijing-Tianjin and Taiwan regions.

2. Rice shrimp strains
Also known as grass shrimp, crustaceans, spoon finger shrimp family. It is a small type of freshwater shrimp that lives in lakes, ponds and ditches, often climbs on aquatic grasses, and is widely distributed and commonly known as Chinese rice shrimp. Serve fresh or cook and then peel the dried shrimp. Although it has no obvious direct value in human economic activities, it eats algae and organic matter, is small in size, and is suitable for other large freshwater fish and shrimp bait, so it plays a non-negligible role in aquatic ecology.
Rice shrimp is the most common ornamental shrimp in grass tanks and is also the most diverse series. This type of ornamental shrimp is highly adaptable to water temperature and is easy to raise. Rice shrimp are mixed feeding habits, feeding on algae and plankton, so among the ornamental shrimp that remove algae, rice shrimp are also the backbone. You can feed nutritious boiled spinach leaves, frozen red blood worms, etc. Rice shrimp are small in size, not as aggressive and destructive as the shrimp, so they will not harm other organisms, on the contrary, the juvenile shrimp of the rice shrimp will often become food for other fish, so it is best not to polyculture rice shrimp with large fish. Among the rice shrimp in the market, crystal shrimp, tiger striped shrimp and cherry blossom shrimp are the most popular.

Shrimp prefers a low temperature environment below 23 °C, prefers clean water quality, and has a high demand for dissolved oxygen in water quality. When feeding, the amount of water should not be too high, affecting the ornamentation. Shrimp is an aggressive creature that fights between even the same species, and needs to be reared separately after a body length of more than 3 cm. Sometimes they will escape from the cylinder, remember to cover it. This shrimp is a nocturnal habit and generally does not come out to feed until the evening, so it needs to be fed after 9 p.m.

Sulawesi shrimp referred to as Su shrimp, Su shrimp is very sensitive, in the landscaping, pay attention to the front low and high, give Su shrimp a certain room space, but pay attention, but pay attention to, at the same time remember that Su shrimp do not feed, Su shrimp digestive system is relatively weak, can not eat normal shrimp food, the main feeding relies on the addition of microbials in the water in the sun exposure to the microorganisms generated. Su shrimp grow in shallow water shore, like high oxygen no organic toxin water quality, water quality to be clear, high alkaline water ammonia and nitrite shrimp have a great impact, so the filtration system should be strong.
