General Information of Fairy Shrimp Thailandensis
Fairy Shrimp Thailandensis or Branchinella thailandensis (scientific name) is in the family Thamnocephalidae (Sanoamuang et al., 2002). Fairy shrimp swim in a supine position and eat by filter feed. When the Fairy Shrimp swim, they create a stream of water, contributing to the dense aggregation of food between their leg. Then, the food is blown into the sticky substance that is excreted in the mouth and is swallowed up.
