231: The Pet That Requires NOTHING to Survive | Rus Wilson - AAH

Rus of Aquarimax Pets discusses everything there is to know about this very small, low-maintenance pet shrimp called “Hawaiian Volcano Shrimp”, from their native environment, life span, size, and their husbandry in captivity. For anyone curious about keeping a species like this, Russ details the needs of the shrimps such as the tank size, water conditions, temperature, enrichment, decor, and more. Rus also discusses ways that these shrimp are kept in a less than ideal conditions and how that can be improved when keeping them in captivity. This episode is filled with information about the Hawaiian Volcano Shrimp, from a hobbyist who has been keeping them for over 20 years, being a perfect episode for anyone wanting to get started in a relatively easy aquatic pet species.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/231-volcano-shrimp/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Aquarimax YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/aquarimax
