Atyoida pilipes

[zapisto]

Hello,
I receive a bunch of Atyoida pilipes (i think it is after some good research).
Was selling to me under : Biak Green Lace Atya Shrimp

I will try get good pics of it (not me but a friend)

anybody have some info on this species, seems to have a strange behavior for a fan shrimp, actually pick up fook on ground more than filter, even if their happen to filter time to time.

Thanks

If members have not keep or bred this Species they will not be able to give you the information that you are looking.

***WILD SPECULATION*** or Educated Guess...

All the other known species that people have kept in the hobby have a pure larval stage that reuires salt water for even modest survival, and there are no records of anyone breeding any of them in captivity yet.

The behavior you talk about is not unusual if there is not enough flow to filter, or not enough food in the water for them. I've seen bamboo shrimp do this.

***WILD SPECULATION*** or Educated Guess... CONFIRMED!

The larva required full sea water according to this.
