Opae Ula/Hawaiian red shrimp - the easiest and least time consuming type of shrimp to keep! Once their tank is fully set up, they truly require minimal-no maintenance. These little guys are truly a gift to the fish keeping hobby in our opinion, because although this can be a rewarding hobby, we know how much work and energy this hobby can demand from you, so we are excited to be able to put these shrimp up for sale on our website. (Hopefully within the next few weeks!) stay tuned, cause we will also be posting a tank setup/care guide to share the knowledge we’ve gained from keeping Opae Ula 👐🏻

Rotala wallichii is a stunning pink, red color plant with needle-shaped leaves that originates from soft, slightly acidic waters in South-Eastern Asia. Even though it is not the easiest plant to grow, it is a highly popular plant due to its unique look. High lighting, Co2, and added fertilizers will turn the leaves a mix of vibrant pink, red, orange, and yellow hues, and will definitely help this plant to thrive!
