The body size of golden rice shrimp is relatively small, and it can only grow to 2-3cm in length after adulthood. However, because their bodies are golden yellow and very beautiful, they have always been popular among ornamental shrimps. Because of their small size, they should not be kept in the same tank as very large fish, otherwise they may be eaten.
The life span of golden rice shrimp is about 1.5 years. Some individuals with good genes may live for about two years in a suitable environment. Although they have a short life span, they are relatively easy to reproduce, producing 20-30 shrimps at a time. Therefore, as long as they can provide a suitable environment for their reproduction, they can be cultured and ornamental for a long time.
Golden rice shrimp does not have a very high requirement for water quality. They can survive in water with a PH between 6.0 and 8.4, and can adapt to weak acidic water or weak alkaline water. However, they have certain requirements for water temperature. When farming, water with water temperature between 15 and 28 degrees Celsius is needed. If you want them to reproduce, it is better to control the water temperature between 24 and 25 degrees Celsius. This water temperature is more conducive to their reproduction and hatching of shrimp eggs.
