Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Palaemon elegans are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Palaemon elegans, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Palaemon elegans, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Husbandry know-how of owners

Wir halten Felsengarnelen aus der Adria, sowie aus der Nordsee.
Das riesige Verbreitungsgebiet, von Skandinavien bis ins Rote Meer zeigt die hohe Anpassungsfähigkeit der Palaemon elegans.
So können selbst Felsengarnelen aus der Nordsee bei Wassertemperaturen bis 25 Grad gehalten werden und so in den verschiedensten Becken ihre wertvolle Arbeit als Restevertilger verrichten.
In Nordsee- und Mittelmeerbecken gehört eine große Gruppe Felsengarnelen zum Standartbesatz, aber auch im tropischen Aquarium sind sie gut haltbar und eine Bereicherung.
Neben dem Kauf von Nachzuchten ist auch die Haltung einheimischer (europäischer) Meerestiere eine Möglichkeit unser Hobby nachhaltiger zu machen und einen kleinen Beitrag zum Schutz der tropischen Riffe zu leisten!

Viele Grüße

Diese Garnelen sind bei höheren Temperaturen bestens zu halten, friedliche Allesfresser, leicht an der Küste zu fangen. Vermehren sich auch im Aquarium regelmäßig - ob die Brut lange überlebt ist ne andere Frage, aber sie sorgen stetig für Plankton. Das einzige Minus ist wie bei vielen Garnelen, dass sie Korallen und Anemonen das Futter klauen, deshalb müssen sie zuerst gefüttert werden, am besten mit größeren Brocken, die sie erstmal beschäftigt halten.

Ich halte diese Garnelen schon seit mehreren Jahren immer wieder. Es handelt sich um Wildfänge aus der Ostküste Italiens (Adria).
Sie sind wahre Fressmaschinen. Sie fressen Flockenfutter, Fliegen, Muschelfleisch, Kalamarifleisch und kleine lebende Fische.
Ich konnte schon beobachten, wie sie lebende Venusmuscheln "aufgeknackt" und gefressen haben.
Sie haben sogar einmal eine lebende kleine Sepie (1cm) gefressen.
Am liebsten fressen sie (bei mir) kleine Fische bei lebendigem Leib. Es handelt sich dabei um kleine Großkopf-Meeräschen und kleine Sardellen.
Tagsüber fressen sie nur wenige Fische aus dem Aquarium. Über Nacht dafür sehr viele.
Tote Fische, wenn z.B. mal einer in die Pumpe kommt, werden nicht gefressen.
