Fairy shrimps (spring gillfoot) Fairy shrimps (spring gillfoot) are very common. Fairy shrimps are gilled crustaceans that have been found on our planet since prehistoric times in salt lakes, drying waters or polar waters.Only animals from Asia or America that live in a water temperature of 20-30°C are suitable for keeping in an aquarium. These species (Branchinella thailandensis and Dendrocephalus brasiliensis) live in waters that regularly dry out and are only filled with rainwater. The water is therefore very soft. Appearance The animals have 11 pairs of leaf feet. These leaf-shaped limbs serve not only for locomotion but also for breathing – which has led to the term "gilled-foot crustacean". There are sometimes minor differences in colour. They are found in colours ranging from orange to reddish-brown and may have greenish to bluish hues at the joints and at the boundaries of the segments.Both sexes have two short thread-like antennae. However, another pair of antennae differ in both shape and according to sex. Males have lobe-shaped appendages that can be curled up. Adult females are mainly distinguished by the ventrally located brood sacs, which are filled with eggs, and the ends of the female's tail are translucently light. Systematics Phylum: Arthropoda / ArthropodsSubphylum: Crustacea / CrustaceansClass: Anostraca – Gill-feetFamily: BranchipodidaeGenus: Branchipus / Eubranchipus /Tanymastix etc. Care Depending on the species, fairy shrimps live for 6-12 weeks and the size of adult animals varies from 1-3cm.Can Triops and fairy shrimps be kept together?yes, they can Aquarium size: Initially, a Faunarium box size 230 x 155 x 170 mm is quite sufficient From a body length of 1.5cm, they can be gradually accustomed to larger tanks Basic lighting: Sunlight or aquarium lighting is sufficientAeration: An air pump with a stone and very little air flow is sufficient for keepingSetup:Only water and breeding substrate in the breeding/starting container. A little fine aquarium sand can be used as substrate (but this is not absolutely necessary)Decorations can be used, but are only for our eyes and not of importance to the fairy shrimps.Fairy shrimps are free-swimmers – so they need enough free swimming space in the breeding container.If the animals swim around freely, you can also add a little aquarium moss to the water. To ensure the water is soft, it is best to use 2/3 distilled water and 1/3 mineral water (non-carbonated).Water temperature: Fluctuations in temperature of +/- 5° C are not dramatic.The ideal breeding temperature is 26°.Start:The larvae only hatch when they are completely surrounded by water. Therefore, place the eggs on adhesive tape and then put this in the water – so the eggs are not washed to the edge and always remain in contact with water.After 1-3 days the larvae hatch. The larvae grow quickly and can reach sexual maturity after up to 40 moults in one to two weeks. The males hold the females with their jaw pincers shortly before and also during mating. After mating, the eggs develop in the egg sacs on the females’ abdomens. They fall to the bottom of the water and can survive for several years of prolonged drought in the substrate.When the fairy shrimps have died, the water can be drained off and the substrate with the eggs left completely dry. The larvae can only hatch again if the eggs were completely dry.Once this is dried out, a new batch can be started.If no substrate is used, you can also siphon off the eggs with a thin hose. Let the water containing the eggs run through a fine net or a coffee filter – this way you can collect the eggs.Important: The animals do not tolerate large water changes. If fairy shrimps are to be moved to a larger home, it is best to place the animals together with the breeding water into the new home or tank and slowly fill up the container with conditioned tap water. Feeding The larvae are fed from the 3rd day after hatching.The larvae can be fed with algae powder or JBL Artemio fluid. For all animal husbandry: Children must be guided, supervised and monitored by their parents. Children must learn that an animal has its own needs and habits and they must respect this. Parents should be aware that they are responsible for the animal. For questions and problems our trained team at Zoo Roco is at your disposal. They can advise you professionally on all matters.

Keeping is optimal in a small aquarium with soft water. The small larvae slit out from eggs (cysts) within one or three days and life with good care about 6 to 12 weeks. Facts: Fairy shrimp among to the anostraca, have a fascinating floating manner and are even a nutritious feed for fish. Max. size: 35 mm Life expectancy: max. 3 months Cysts per female: max. 5000 Temperature: 20 - 28 °C (optimal 23 - 25 °C) pH value: 6,0 - 9,0 (optimal 6,5 - 7,5) Expected fairy shrimp amount: at least 100 or 1.000 per bag Aquarium starting with 2 liters Tip: An approach with fairy shrimp cysts should be used multiple times by respective drying because at the first time not all nauplii slip out.  

White woodlice - Trichorhina tomentosa These insects are not only used as feeder animals, but also as health police in tropical terrariums. only 4mm feeder animals good for the substrate (humid terrariums) White woodlice are a species of isopod that is only about 4 mm in size and is known from tropical forest soils. They can therefore tolerate neither dryness nor cold temperatures.These insects are not only used as feeder animals but also as health police in tropical terrariums. The animals reproduce independently in warm, moist soil and in addition to dead feeder animals, they also consume plant residue or decaying wood.

Rose chafer larvae (Pachnoda butana) - tin of 8-10 pieces Rose chafer larvae originate from tropical to subtropical areas of Africa. They reach an impressive size of up to 40 mm. As a treat for reptiles or tarantulas Protein bomb Rose chafer larvae originate from tropical to subtropical areas of Africa. They are comparable to the native grubs of various beetle species. Rose chafer larvae reach an impressive size of up to 40 mm and are almost as thick as a finger. They can bite hard with their biting tools. However, the animals are otherwise very soft, as the body is only covered by a thick skin and is not protected by a chitin armour, as is the case with Zophobas, for example. Rose chafer larvae should be stored at room temperature and can be fed with fruit or vegetables.
