    These Opae Ula you see pictured are of my actual shrimp & tanks
    Once the container or tank is established and you have algae growing you do not need to feed anymore. If you want you can add a feeding once a month.
    Very easy to care for. No water changes are necessary. You will only need to top off the container or tank when it evaporates with distilled water that you can purchase at the market. Eventually you will not have to feed the Opae Ula and will only have to top off the water that evaporates.
    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. These pools are a mix & saltwater from the ocean & freshwater from the underground lava tubes creating brackish water which is a mixture of both.
    How big do these shrimp get?
    ·
    The Opae Ula doesn’t grow much larger than ½ inch. You will receive adult shrimp.
    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 pet shrimp once the tank is set and established. You will feed
    Ocean chill dried organic
    Spirulina at the beginning. This
    Is the perfect food. It's a whole food source loaded with ocean trace elements, antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients and minerals.
    Can I use any kind of water?
    Opae Ula need a special mixture of freshwater & marine saltwater to survive. The water in your aquarium should never be changed. To compensate for water loss due to evaporation, simply add distilled or bottled freshwater.
    Where do I place my Opae Ula?
    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.
    P
    osition them in a place where the temperature remains between 60F and 80F, without any fast fluctuations such as near a heater.
    An Opae' Ula Aquarium in your home or office will bring you ENDLESS hours of enjoyment, relaxation and conversation
    For the initial start up I feed the following at the start 1-2x a week for 8-12 weeks.
    Nutrex Hawaii Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica Powder
    Keep  in mind the following is NOT required
    Heater
    Filter
    Aeration
    Water changes.
    Water additives  i.e. Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ Minerals and Trace Elements. This is great for FW shrimp but not Opae Ula
    Feeding
    Cycling the jar or tank. Just set up, add shrimp, & enjoy. Completely my opinion.
