The Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis) is certainly among the most fascinating and unique aquarium shrimp available. Also known as the African Filter Shrimp, Viper Shrimp, Gabon Shrimp, and Cameroon Shrimp, this peaceful species is very rare, but ideal for the nano and planted aquarium. It has highly variable blue, gray, brown, white, or pink coloration that can change several times per year. While sometimes reclusive, this shrimp can often be seen waving its “fans” in the water current in an attempt to gather particulate food matter. Unlike many shorter-lived shrimp, the Vampire Shrimp can live for as long as 5 years with proper care!
The Vampire Shrimp is a filter feeding shrimp and will position itself in areas of highest water flow and use its filtering appendages to pull microorganisms, shed plant matter, and other fine food items from the water. In aquariums with multiple specimens, it is fun to see several of these shrimp gathered in one area feeding together. This species is completely safe for dwarf shrimp aquariums, but it does not tolerate temperatures as low as the temperatures that most dwarf shrimp enjoy. The Vampire Shrimp requires oxygen-rich water with a heavier current than many other shrimp species. Ample cover and hiding places are also necessary for the long-term well-being of the Vampire Shrimp. Like all invertebrates, it is extremely sensitive to copper and must never be exposed to this metal, even in very small amounts.
The Marina Multi-Breeder is a multi-purpose breeding chamber that attaches easily to side of aquarium. A safe floating haven for live-bearing fish and fry, it has two separate areas for expectant fish and segregated bottom compartments that safely collect and protect falling fry.
The Multi-Breeder has a centre divider that allows you to keep two pregnant fish at once. It can also serve as an ideal isolation chamber for sick or weak fish.
Size: 20.32 L x 10.16 W x 10.79 H (8 L x 4 W x 4.25 H in)
The Salifert Nitrate Test Kit measures the extremely hazardous nitrate levels that build up in spaces that have been deprived of oxygen. High nitrate levels can lead to undesirable algae growth and coral damage. The ideal nitrate concentration in a healthy reef system should be lower than 1 mg/L, but fish-based aquariums may show drastically higher concentrations.
Additionally, the unit is able to detect both small and large concentrations of nitrates. Unlike other nitrate testers, the Salifert Nitrate Test Kit is not impacted by the presence of amines. Contains ingredients that provide accurate and immediate readings.
Replacement T Pump designed for use with the Python No Spill Clean and Fill Systems. The pump draws water from your faucet to create the suction needed for siphoning.

Tropical Caridina Nano Sticks are a specialized, multi-ingredient sinking food developed for the daily feeding of dwarf freshwater shrimp. Their carefully balanced formula provides calcium, natural vitamins and essential nutrients to support healthy growth, proper moulting, immune function and overall condition.
These micro sticks are designed to appeal to popular dwarf shrimp species, including cherry shrimp, blue shrimp, tiger shrimp and other Caridina and Neocaridina varieties. Their small size allows shrimp to feed comfortably, while the sinking format delivers food directly to the bottom of the aquarium.
Caridina Nano Sticks retain their shape and texture in water instead of quickly dissolving. This allows shrimp to graze naturally while helping prevent uneaten food from breaking apart and unnecessarily polluting the aquarium.
