Sinceramente no se que a especie pertenece esta "gambita". Las más conocidas suelen ser lacustris o pulex, asi que supongo que será alguna de ellas. Son habituales bajo las piedras de los rios, charcas, pantanos, etc. Se adaptan casi a cualquier medio acuatico y son testigos de aguas limpias. Su alto contenido en fibras y proteinas las ha castigado a ser empleadas como alimento vivo para los acuarios, aunque se venden liofilizadas e incluso congeladas. Muchos aficionados al mundo de los acuarios las crian para alimentar a sus mascotas. Aunque pueden llegar a cazar, lo normal es que se alimenten de algas y detritos. Su fotofobia es espectacular.

Sincerely I don't know species belongs this "Shrimp". Usually  are "lacustris" or "pulex", so I suppose that it will be some of them. They are habitual under the stones of the rivers, ponds, marshes, etc. They adapt themselves almost to any aquatic zone and they are witnesses of clean waters. It's contain in fibers and proteins has punished them to being used as alive food for the aquariums, although they are bandaged liofilizated and even frozen. Many fans of the world of the aquariums raise them to feed to his pets. Although they can  hunt, they usually feed of seaweed and detritus. their photo phobia is spectacular.
