Information
An interesting dwarf shrimp. Marble shrimp are very adaptive to their enviroment. They will display light coloring in shades of tan and brown on light substrate but will quickly darken to a blackish blue with marbling on darker substrates. Active shrimp, easy care. Our Marble shrimp are very energetic and will rush out when you leave food. An excellent shrimp for those new to the hobby or a nice species for those into collecting as many as you can. Easily bred, you can start your own colony of these beautiful shrimp today.
