Quarantined before every shipment
Bamboo Shrimp (Atyopsis moluccensis) are specialized filter feeders that catch suspended food from moving water with fan-like appendages.
They need mature water, strong oxygenation, and a flow path that carries fine food past a stable perch.
Care Notes
Provide a perch directly in current and feed fine suspended foods. Do not rely on leftovers on the substrate.

Species Spotlight
Why We Love This Shrimp
01
Behaviour Unlike Any Other Shrimp
Bamboo Shrimp do not scavenge. They perch in flow and fan the water column for food — a feeding style that is genuinely fascinating to watch and unlike anything else in a freshwater setup.
02
The Largest Freshwater Shrimp We Carry
At 2–4 inches, Bamboo Shrimp are substantially larger than dwarf shrimp. Visible from across the room, and substantial enough to hold their own alongside peaceful medium-sized fish.
03
Peaceful in Any Community
Bamboo Shrimp ignore every other animal in the tank. No aggression toward fish, shrimp, or snails. They find a spot in the flow and stay there — a calm, low-drama addition to any established planted tank.
Community Tank
Compatible Tank Mates
These species coexist peacefully with shrimp. Research before mixing — not every fish is safe.
Aggressive or nippy fish — may damage or harass Bamboo Shrimp fans
Any fish large enough to target a 2–4 inch shrimp (cichlids, large barbs, pufferfish)
Crayfish — will predate Bamboo Shrimp
Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation
Use a mature 20-gallon or larger aquarium with a spray bar, powerhead, or other flow source aimed across suitable perches. If the shrimp spends long periods scraping the substrate, increase appropriate suspended feeding.

Common Questions
Bamboo Shrimp FAQ
Do Bamboo Shrimp eat algae wafers?+
They may pick at soft foods, but their primary feeding strategy is filtering suspended micro-particles from moving water.
Do Bamboo Shrimp need strong flow?+
They need a reliable current and high oxygenation, with sheltered areas available elsewhere in the tank.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes. Every order is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any DOA in the sealed bag on delivery day and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page.
Why is my Bamboo Shrimp walking around the substrate?+
Constant substrate searching can indicate that not enough suspended food is reaching its feeding perch.
How are Bamboo Shrimp shipped?+
Shrimp ship Monday through Wednesday in insulated packaging with weather-appropriate protection and typically arrive within the selected delivery window.
Live plants give shrimp constant grazing surfaces, sheltered hiding spots for shrimplets, and promote the natural biofilm growth shrimp feed on. Every plant is shrimp-safe and ships safely alongside livestock.
Adding plants is a great way to reach free 2-Day Shipping at $120+ while building a healthier tank.
