Product Details

This is pesticide-free paddy field soil. Kabuto shrimp and hōnen shrimp are abundant in my paddy field every year. They are very cute creatures and easy to care for, so I decided to list them for sale for those who love animals and for children to raise.

- Species: Kabuto shrimp, Hōnen shrimp, and others (unknown creatures)

- Body length: Approximately 2-3 cm

- Quantity: In my case, about 4 kabuto shrimp and 10 hōnen shrimp hatched. This is not , so if you're unlucky, they may not hatch. I apologize in advance if they do not hatch.
(They may not hatch depending on the conditions)

- Lifespan: About 1 month and a little?

- Features: These creatures are called living fossils and have a unique, endearing form! You'll be soothed by the comical movements of the kabuto shrimp and the sight of the hōnen shrimp swimming like tiny fried shrimp.

- Care instructions: Simply place the product (paddy field soil) in a large tank or similar container, add water (tap water is fine) to a depth of about 15 cm. Then, just leave it in a bright place. Larvae should appear in about a week.
The paddy field soil also contains many microorganisms that purify the water, so the water won't get stagnant. Algae will grow, but it seems to serve as food for the kabuto shrimp. They are omnivores, so they will eat anything, including goldfish food. Trying different foods might be fun too!
I had refrained from listing them due to the extreme heat, but after further experiments, they hatched, so I'm listing them again.

- Water temperature: 22-30℃.
(For reference, the water temperature in the paddy field reached 38℃ during the day, but they were swimming energetically. This is in a natural environment, of course!
They are stronger than I thought! (?☉?。?☉?)?!)

- Caution: Other organisms may also hatch (lol).
They can coexist with medaka (Japanese rice fish), etc. However, do not keep them together when they are larvae, as they may be eaten by medaka. They can coexist once they grow larger.
I have sifted out large debris, but since it is paddy field soil, there will be small debris.
Thank you for your understanding.
