Special requirements
Copper Sensitivity
Like all ornamental invertebrates, they are highly sensitive to copper. Ensure all medications and fertilizers are shrimp-safe.
Safe Tank Mates
Do not house with loaches, puffers, or larger carnivores that may prey on small invertebrates.
Breeding Safety
If breeding, a sponge filter is essential to prevent the miniature young shrimp from being trapped in the intake.
