lol,
they are about this big _________ (App.)
the are tropical and need a heater,
personally they need a bigger tank than 11l, 5 gallons if the smallest i will go
light in the daytime is fine,but it must be turned off at night, strong light may annoy them
they eat what other shrimps eat, leftovers, algea, bloodworms, flakes, pellets, etc

They dont need a heater actually.

my mistake then, i always thought they were tropical shrimps that needed warm water.
still, mine are in heated water and do very well.

They are pretty adaptable. I had them in the low 60's at one point.

Warmer water is best if you wish to breed your RCS.
