Additional
Comments
 This shrimp is almost never seen. It is not often available for import. These
shrimp are "muck" dwellers. They stay in the detritus and filth found under
dead plant leaves ect. Without a good spot of "Muck", they will die. They
also eat all of the small creature from the "Muck"
