Sharing with fish of a similar or slightly larger size is allowed. The design should include areas with dense vegetation and places to hide during molting, such as driftwood, tree fragments, intertwined roots, etc.

They are not often found in hobby aquariums due to their diet. Usually shrimp are used as aquarium orderlies to remove uneaten food debris, but in this case they need to be fed separately if the fish’s diet is different. They feed on small worms, snails and other mollusks, including their own offspring. It is worth noting that Inle Lake shrimp can also accept other types of food, but this does not have the best effect on their health, there are problems with reproduction.
