[ARRIVED 14-DEC-2025] Glass Shrimps (Ghost) Paratya Australiensis 2-4cm

Description

The Glass Shrimps are endemic to Australia and they inhabit many of our inland habitats.

They mostly inhabit streams and tributaries on all States in Australia except for Tasmania. They can live in cool conditions (cold winter nights at Sydney) through to to the heat of Sydney's weather.

They are an easy species to have and will graze on Algae or uneaten foods. They are not the best when it comes to algae control. 

Consider giving these gems a try. They reproduce with a planktonic stage and they are quick (as they live with Gambusia and other invasive species). 

A few people have tried them with Bettas. Although it is not recommended however in a planted Betta tank it is best to have them in a group of 5 or more.
