FAQ’s
What are Opae Ula?
· Opae Ula (Halocaridina rubra), also known as Hawaiian Shrimp, Volcano Shrimp, Red Shrimp, and many other names, are an endemic shrimp found in brackish water ponds.
Where do these shrimp live?
· The natural habitat of these critters is in the Hawaiian Islands only, which makes them endemic. They are found in anchialine ponds primarily on the Big Island, Maui, as well as O’ahu. These pools are a mix & saltwater from the ocean & freshwater from the underground lava tubes creating brackish water which is a mixture of both.
How big do these shrimp get?
· The Opae Ula doesn’t grow much larger than ½ inch. You will receive adult shrimp.
What do I feed my shrimp?
- Opae Ula eat algae that naturally grows inside the aquarium, visibly or not. There is no need to feed any additional algae to your pet shrimp once the tank is set and established. You will feed Ocean chill dried organic Spirulina at the beginning. This Is the perfect food. It's a whole food source loaded with ocean trace elements, antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients and minerals.
Can I use any kind of water?
- Opae Ula need a special mixture of freshwater & marine saltwater to survive. The water in your aquarium should never be changed. To compensate for water loss due to evaporation, simply add distilled or bottled freshwater.
Where do I place my Opae Ula?
- Keep your shrimp aquarium away from direct sunlight. A location in your home that is away from direct sunlight and a source of heat or cold (such as air-conditioning) is best. Position them in a place where the temperature remains between 60F and 80F, without any fast fluctuations such as near a heater.

- Heater
- Filter
- Aeration
- Water changes.
- Water additives i.e. Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ Minerals and Trace Elements. This is great for FW shrimp but not Opae Ula
- Feeding
- Cycling the jar or tank. Just set up, add shrimp, & enjoy. Completely my opinion.
- Two clear photos of the DOA livestock in unopened shipping bag are required to receive credit. These images must be received within 1 hour of package delivery.
- If temperatures are below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees proof of DOA must be provided upon delivery. This is to guaranty that package was not left out in the extremes.
- Shrimp are not guaranteed past arrival. Opening the shipping bags ends the 'arrival' period and, without photographs, indicates that the fish are acceptable in the condition they arrived.
- DOA credits are redeemable for the same species of fish on the next order as available.
- No refunds will be issued for DOA livestock.
- Shipping charges are not covered by my DOA Policy.
