High grade orange Pumpkin shrimp are easy to care for in the home freshwater aquarium and breed well. They will adapt to a wide range of water conditions, and will thrive in the same conditions as many common aquarium fish. A few fire shrimp can be kept in a desktop aquarium of 4-8 litres  capacity, and a setup of 40 litres or more will allow for an active colony.

 

The High grade orange Pumpkin shrimp is a non-aggressive shrimp. They are active throughout the day, and can be seen grazing on algae, aquarium décor or the sides of the tank, hunting detritus among the gravel, and sometimes even mating. Periodically a shrimp will shed its exoskeleton, leaving an empty white ghost of itself caught in the plants or drifting around the tank. This should be left in the tank, as the shrimp will eat it to recover the valuable minerals it contains.

      Healthy shrimp, poor color

      all arrived alive and healthy, but are not orange at all, just yellowish even after multiple weeks to gain color and good diet. have only had a couple that look anything orange. not high grade.
