Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers

Regarding mixed swimming, oninuma shrimps have a mild temperament. Therefore, if the variety you put them in with is territorial or aggressive, the oninuma shrimps may be beaten up, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress. Also, be aware that if oninumaebi are mixed with some goldfish or tropical fish (such as cichlids and aveneye puffers), they may be preyed upon.Recommended species for mixing with oninumaebi are killifish in general, neon tetras and other calasin-type fish, and small fish such as red fin fish. If you are unsure of the compatibility of the species you wish to mix with Oninumaebi, take measures such as creating a hiding place by adding aquatic plants.

Points about spawning

Many people who keep oninuma shrimps want to breed them. In order to breed oninuma shrimps, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the "bilateral migratory type. The bilateral migratory type refers to the act of moving back and forth between sea and fresh water.Oninuma shrimps enter the bilateral migratory type. When breeding oninuma shrimps, you must prepare brackish water (seawater divided by half with freshwater) for them to reproduce. There are several ways to prepare brackish water, such as diluting seawater by half with tap water (fresh water) or dissolving artificial seawater sold at specialty stores with tap water (fresh water). Brackish water is very troublesome to manage rather than to produce. For this reason, it is said that it is difficult to breed Oninumaebi. However, if you can make brackish water well, all you have to do is put in spawning beds or water plants and wait for the eggs to hatch. Once hatched, the fry feed on bacteria and moss in the water and grow. After hatching and repeated molting, the fry will be able to adapt to freshwater after about a month, so if you are thinking of moving to freshwater, please start the transition gradually from this time.

Points to keep in mind when keeping oninuma shrimps

Oninuma shrimps are recommended because they are easy to keep and to mix with other shrimps. Oninumaebi are one of the more docile species of shrimps, so they rarely cause problems in the aquarium. In rare cases, they may prey on weak individuals (small fish), but it is highly likely that they mistake them for dead, so please take measures such as moving weak individuals to another tank as soon as possible.When keeping oninuma shrimps, they sometimes molt. The body is very soft just after molting, so be careful not to touch it. Oninumaebi are larger than other shrimps, so they are recommended for those who want to keep large shrimps. If you are interested in oninumaebi, we recommend that you take a look at them at a specialty store.
