Care at a glance
The babaulti shrimp from India is a dwarf shrimp that comes in green, brown and reddish varieties; the same shrimp can also change colour depending on its mood and surroundings. That makes colour an unreliable identifier in this species.
It is easy to keep, peaceful and a good clean-up crew for films and leftover food. Keep it in a group in a planted tank with moss or leaf litter, and do not add fish that see small shrimp as a snack.
