The Original Aloha Shrimp Care

 

 

The Original Aloha Shrimp Habitats are complete, self-contained and self-sustaining miniature worlds encased in custom handblown glass. Inside each balanced habitat are active micro-organisms, two Aloha Shrimp, algae and bacteria, each existing in perfect harmony.

The perfect pet, your Aloha Shrimp require no feeding or water change. With proper care your new family members will have an average life expectancy of eight years. However, it is not uncommon for Aloha Shrimp to thrive in habitats as old as 20 years in the right environment. 


Inside each Aloha Shrimp Habitat are a balance of active micro-organisms, a pair of Aloha Shrimp, algae and bacteria, each existing in perfect harmony. Easy to care for, Aloha Shrimp is an incredible learning tool that can provide powerful insights about life on our own planet and the natural cycle of resources. 


Original and unique, Aloha Shrimp is your perfect self-sustaining ecosystem designed to complement any environment, and makes a fascinating and educational gift for family and friends.

Because the living organisms within Aloha Shrimp utilise their resources without overpopulating or polluting their habitat, you never have to feed the life within, and it requires virtually no maintenance. Simply provide Aloha Shrimp with a source of indirect natural or artificial light to enjoy its delicate beauty for years to come. 

Aloha Shrimp are a new breed of pet shrimp from Beebiesmart.com, these 1cm - 1.5cm creatures proudly hold the longest life expenctancy when copared to other pet shrimp in the market. With minimum care and the right circumstances, expect them to live with you for a minimum of eight lucky years. The oldest recorded Aloha Shrimp Habitat we have at Beebiesmart.com is 20 years and going strong.

   

 

The Aloha Shrimp Nature
Unlike other varities, Aloha Shrimp feed promarily on mirco-algae matter and bacteria. Occassionally they will eat the bodies of their decayed fellow shrimp due to bacteria and algae groth, but will never go out of their way to kill for food. Aloha Shrimp are filter feeders and will often swim to the surface to feed on the water turning the 'water into blood' because of their bright red bodies. 

Incredibly social, they are rarely seen fighting, and love to gather in clusters. They love soaking up light and storing away their energy for eating, socialising and never fighting. When provided rocks and corals, they love to frolic and play the day away with each other while savaging for food. They love places to hide and cooperate (coral sea fan, ryuoh rock, coral stone, mineral balls) and also use these places when its time to mate. 

Aloha Shrimp have rather hardly nervous systems, but may suffer from shock when their habitats are constantly shaken or moved about. This will be evident when their usually red bodies turn temporarily white. They will regain their composure and confidence after a day or two, with their bodies turning back to their natural robust red. Should a habitat fall and break, Aloha Shrimp will die from shock due to its tiny body.

                                                                     

Aloha Shrimp Parents
Because Aloha Shrimp mainly feed on micro-algae matter and bacteria and are incredibly social creatures, the chances of breeding and multiplying are incredible.
                                                           
Encourage the chance of baby Aloha Shrimp by:
1. Having the maxium allowed numbers of Aloha Shrimp in your habitat (e.g. Mood Habitat - 9 Aloha Shrimp)
2. Ensure that you do not constantly pick up your habitat or move it unnecessarily
3. Give it enough artificial or natural light (but never place it in direct sunlight)
4. Make sure to top up the water every week with B-Water Complex supplement to keep all Aloha Shrip happy and healthy  
5. Sit back and wait, and if you want turn on some Marvin Gaye music to encourage them

                                                                        

Aloha Shrimp Upon Arrival
Upon receiving your Aloha Shrimp, please do not be alarmed by their white appearance. When stressed or scared Aloha Shrimp tend to temporarily lose their vibrant red colour. Give them a few days rest in their new Aloha Shrimp Habitat, trying not to pick up their home, and you'll see their colour gradually return. 

 

Aloha Shrimp on Display  
Your new Aloha Shrimp Habitat is the perfect accompaniment to your lifestyle, and should be placed in places where you can sit and enjoy it. Students love to place it on their study tables, executives and managers their desks, and on coffee tables at home they make magnificant objects that are able to release stress after a long day, simply by taking the time to enjoy its beauty. Wherever you choose to display your Aloha Shrimp Habitat, simply provide it with a source of indirect natural or artificial light to enjoy its delicate beauty for years to come. 

 

                                                 

               

 

 

Feeding & Water Change
Because the living organisms within Aloha Shrimp utilise their resources without overpopulating or polluting their habitat, you never have to feed the life within, and it requires virtually no maintenance. But you can take additional steps to ensure that your Aloha Shrimp live a healthy and happy life for years to come just by topping up any evaporated water with B Water whenever necessary, and by adding 1-3 drops of B-Water a week to maintain the preffered balanced ecosystem for your precious pets.

 

Algae Growth 
Everyone is after a clean habitat for their Aloha Shrimp. But here is 1 very good reason to leave the dirt on the glass and let algae growth on the black sea fan coral grow: That's the algae that feeds your Aloha Shrimp, without it they would starve and cease to exist. Trust me, they love it and if you had a sparkling clean tank, that's the time to worry and send us an email on how you can start to grown more algae for their healthy and happy benefit. The ideal ecosystem would be branches of green and tasty goodness growing (photo below), as well as a healthy sheen of blown algae on the glass (photo below).
