About

The vampire shrimp Atya gabonensis is a large, impressive freshwater filter feeder from West African rivers, possessing uniquely modified brush-like chelae (claws) instead of fans, used to comb suspended particles from the water. Adults can reach 10–15 cm, making them one of the largest commonly kept freshwater shrimp. Their dark coloration and secretive nocturnal habits add an air of mystery to large, well-matured aquariums.
