Product information
Red scissor shrimp - Macrobrachium Inlesee - Macrobrachium peguense (planarian eater)
A very popular large-armed shrimp is the Inlesee Burmese shrimp, not only because it consumes snails, but also because it has a preference for planarians like very few other aquarium animals and has already ended many a planarian plague quickly and efficiently. At the same time it is quite compatible with fish and dwarf shrimps and leaves them more or less in peace. In freshwater, this very fascinating and useful large-armed shrimp reproduces quite well, and the juveniles will grow large in the parent tank if they find sufficient hiding places. - Garnelio

Description

Red scissor shrimp - Macrobrachium Inlesee - Macrobrachium peguense (planarian eater)

Macrobrachium peguense, often incorrectly referred to as Macrobrachium peguensis, is also known as Macrobrachium sp. Inlesee Burmese shrimp, or red scissor shrimp. It is extremely useful as it has been shown to be one of the few aquarium animals to eat planarians. Small snails are also eaten with great pleasure.  

The Burmese shrimp is transparent, often with a light to dark brown pattern, and it grows up to 5 cm in size. Females are slightly bulkier than males, but have slightly finer claws and also remain a bit smaller. Unlike crayfish, the first pair of scissor bones in large-armed shrimp is relatively small, but the second pair of scissor bones is very prominent and large.

Macrobrachium peguense are easily reproduced in the aquarium. The females of the red scissor shrimp carry 20-40 eggs, which hatch after a few weeks into fully developed miniature shrimp that grow large in the freshwater aquarium. The parent animals do not particularly pursue their offspring, and with enough hiding places, the small Inlesee Burmese shrimp can be raised in an aquarium with the parent animals.

The red scissor shrimp feel comfortable in soft to medium hard water with a pH of 6 - 7.5. The water temperature should be between 20-30 degrees. Macrobrachium peguense should not be kept singly, species appropriate keeping is possible with a smaller group of at least 3 animals.

You can keep Macrobrachium peguense quite easily for example with dwarf shrimps like Red Fires and also with medium sized, non-predatory fishes together in the aquarium - but the requirements to the water values should match. Now and then it is possible that the Red Scissor Shrimp will eat a small shrimp or a careless juvenile fish, but usually it is quite peaceful and easy to socialize. Snails are eaten. Since the animals can be relatively territorial, plenty of hiding places are advisable. Also brown autumn leaves are very suitable as hiding places and also as permanent food.

The Inlesee Burmese shrimp is a distinct omnivore and even goes for planarians. Food of animal origin is preferred, but now and then the animals also nibble on foliage, which should be available as permanent food in the Macrobrachium aquarium. The red scissor shrimp loves to eat frozen food,  but also fish food like flakes, granules and tabs, special shrimp protein food, normal shrimp food and rarely green food like stinging nettle

Our food recommendation: The soft granulate of the Natureholic MacroFeed consists of biologically balanced animal components that large-armed shrimps would find in nature in this or a similar way. This supports  in a completely natural way the moulting, the development and a healthy growth of your fascinating large arm shrimps in the aquarium.

Our plant recommendation: For planting, use NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.

Expert Tip: We recommend for fish keeping the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.

Hallo Silvio, vielen Dank für deine Frage! Tiere der Gattung Macrobrachium sind, im Gegensatz zu beispielsweise Neocaridinia, räuberisch und fressen andere Tiere. Ausgewachsene Garnelen werden von Rotscherengarnelen in der Regel in Ruhe gelassen, kleinere Tiere werden aber gerne gegessen.
