High-grade specimens can appear almost completely opaque, creating a beautiful contrast against green plants, pale substrates, and natural hardscape. They are peaceful, active scavengers that spend much of the day grazing on biofilm, algae, and leftover food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e ±2.5–3 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–26 °C, ideally around 22–24 °C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6.5–8.0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–12 dGH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–8 dKH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTank size:\u003c\/strong\u003e From ±20 L, with larger, mature tanks generally being more stable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very peaceful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivorous scavenger – biofilm, soft algae, quality shrimp foods, sinking foods and occasional blanched vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eA mature planted aquarium with plenty of mosses, plants, wood and other surfaces for biofilm is ideal. Stable water parameters are more important than trying to achieve one exact pH or hardness. Avoid sudden temperature or water-chemistry changes, and always ensure any medications or treatments used are shrimp-safe. \u003cstrong\u003eCopper-containing medications can be particularly dangerous to shrimp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBlack Rose Shrimp breed readily in suitable freshwater conditions.
