Eventually you will not have to feed the Opae Ula once the algae & biofilm has started to grow in your tank or jar.

    FAQ’s
    What are Opae Ula?
    ·
    Opae Ula (Halocaridina rubra), also known as Hawaiian Shrimp, Volcano Shrimp, Red Shrimp, and many other names, are an endemic shrimp found in brackish water ponds.
    Where do these shrimp live?
    The natural habitat of these critters is in the Hawaiian Islands only, which makes them endemic. They are found in anchialine ponds primarily on the Big Island, Maui, as well as O’ahu. Opae Ula are the longest living shrimp 15-20 years+.
    How big do these shrimp get?
    The Opae Ula doesn’t grow much larger than ½ inch.
    What do I feed my shrimp?
    Opae Ula eat algae that naturally grows inside the aquarium, visibly or not. There is no need to feed any additional algae to your shrimp once the tank is set and established.
    I will include a free via of freeze dried spirulina to feed your shrimp
    to get your tank started, Feed just a bit 1-2x a week for 10 weeks. After that the algae & bio film will safely be established in the tank to stop feeding.
    Can I use any kind of water?
    Opae Ula need a special mixture of fresh + salt water to survive. The salinity should be around 1.010 to 1.012 The water in your aquarium should never be changed. To compensate for water loss due to evaporation, simply add distilled or bottled water.
    Where do I place my aquarium?
    Keep your shrimp aquarium away from direct sunlight. A location in your home that is away from direct sunlight and a source of heat or cold (such as air-conditioning) is best.
