RED NOSE

Red Nose shrimp are easy to distinguish due to several identifying features on their bodies.

They have a very long red beak—called a rostrum—that is slightly angled upwards. This specie also has a distinctive hump in their body, which distinguishes them almost from all other dwarf shrimp species.

The body of Red Nose shrimp is semi-transparent that makes them potentially a really good alternative of Amano shrimp. Depending on the diet and environment, the shrimp may have some changes in coloration as well (a little more greenish, or yellowish).

Their bodies have a yellow stripe on the back and red stripe on the sides (along its body).

Red Nose Shrimp can grow up to 4.5 cm (1.7 inches) in length. Like most types of shrimp, they usually live around 1.5 – 2 years.
