Info

Rhynchocinetes balssi Gordon, 1936

Dancing shrimp of various species are often kept in tropical warm home aquariums because of their funny body movements.
This is especially true for the Durban dancing shrimp Rhynchocinetes durbanensis.

Rhynchocinetes balssi is in no way inferior to the other dancing shrimps in the LExicon, it stands out due to its very beautiful body markings.

Experiences about a longer-term keeping in a seawater aquarium we can not contribute at the moment, maybe one of our users has the Tie in care?

Our special thanks for the great photo of this pretty dancing shrimp goes to Luke Colmer, New Zealand!
