The African Filter Shrimp, also known as Vampire Shrimp or Giant African Filter Shrimp, is a rare commodity in the freshwater invertebrate hobby. It is similar to the Asian Filter Shrimp in that it is a filter feeder with fans which it uses to filter fast moving water. It catches tiny particles in its fans and "licks" them clean at random.

I have not kept this particular species so I cannot really offer more information about it. I am hoping to one day be able to bring this import this species but acquiring them from Africa may can be difficult
