Identity and origin
- Origin
- Native Indonesian and wider Southeast Asian stream systems
- Identity
- Freshwater filter-feeding atyid; amphidromous reproduction
A large, peaceful fan shrimp that filters suspended food from strong current. Adults live in fresh water, but successful larval development normally requires a marine or brackish phase.
A habitat for filter feeding
Care-planning notes. Confirm exact requirements for the species and source population.
- Provide water movement and stable perches where feeding fans can intercept suspended food.
- A visually clean aquarium can still be food-poor: observe feeding and body condition rather than relying on leftover food.
- Confirm larval-development requirements separately from adult care; freshwater adults do not imply simple freshwater breeding.
