Orange sakura shrimp are omnivorous and naturally feed on biofilm that forms on underwater surfaces, as well as other available food sources. In an aquarium setting, natural biofilm and algae may be insufficient to sustain a colony, so supplemental feeding is recommended.
Orange sakura shrimp are prolific breeders and will continuously produce fry as long as their environmental needs are met.
