Información del producto

🦐 Vampire Shrimp – (Atya gabonensis) – Large West African Filter-Feeding Shrimp

The Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis), also known as the Gabon Filter Shrimp or Giant African Fan Shrimp, is a peaceful, filter-feeding freshwater shrimp native to fast-flowing rivers in West Africa. This fascinating species can grow much larger than most aquarium shrimp, reaching up to 6 inches in length.
