Before you order: is Nigerian hover shrimp - Desmocaris trispinosa right for your tank?
Animals and plants differ in their demands on water parameters, tank size and tank mates. Please check the details in the tabs below before you buy. If you are unsure, just get in touch before ordering — we are happy to advise.
Desmocaris trispinosa, also called Nigerian hover shrimp, comes from Nigeria and grows up to 4.5 cm. The animals should be kept in a group of at least 10 and use all areas of the aquarium without preferring a particular swimming zone. The species does not depend on current.
It is an omnivore, feeding on plant and animal matter such as algae and mulm. Aquarium plants provide hiding and retreat spots that support their wellbeing.
