Blue Bolt Shrimp

A striking blue color morph of Caridina cantonensis. Deep blue body with white banding. Extremely sensitive to water parameters — requires very soft, acidic water.

Ghost Shrimp

A see-through, feather-light scavenger sold by the handful. Tough across 3-15 dGH and a wide temperature band. Beware mislabeled tankmates: true Ghost Shrimp is Palaemon paludosus, while the larger, more predatory Macrobrachium species are often sold under the same name.

Thai Micro Crab

A pea-sized, fully aquatic crab - no land zone needed - that perches on driftwood and picks microparticles from the water. Fragile and easily overlooked; keep a group of 3 or more in a mature nano tank, and never expose it to copper or sharp parameter swings.

Vampire Crab

A small, semi-terrestrial crab with striking purple coloration and bright yellow eyes. Requires a paludarium setup with both land and water areas.
