Australian glass shrimp Paratya australiensis
- Crustacea
Paratya australiensis, the Australian glass shrimp make an interesting addition to the home aquarium, living quite happily in either tropical or indoor cold water aquariums. They make good scavengers and are not destructive to aquatic plants as they poke around in all corners looking for the tiniest particles of left over food and algae. Unlike most other Australian shrimp these are all 100% scavengers feeding mainly on algae, they WILL not eat fish. These shrimp are perfect for beginners and
