Feeding: Yellow Sakura Shrimp are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet. They happily graze on algae, biofilm, and decaying plant matter in the tank. Supplement their diet with high-quality shrimp pellets or blanched vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or cucumber.
Tank Mates: These shrimp are peaceful and thrive in a community tank with other non-aggressive species such as small fish like Tetras, Rasboras, or Otocinclus catfish. Avoid keeping them with larger or aggressive fish that might prey on them.
