Hi,
these shrimps are relatively popular in Germany because they are easy to keep and breed. But be careful, they are carnivorous and can eat live guppys and other small fishes. I would also keep them separated from other shrimps like our dwarf shrimp of the genuses Caridina and Neocaridina. The Macrobrachium assamense Tiwari, 1955 is pretty aggressive.

regards

Macrobrachium spp. are prevalent throughout Southeast Asia.
