Copper Sensitivity
Extremely sensitive to copper-based medications and treatments; ensure all aquarium additives are invertebrate-safe.
Predator Avoidance
Do not house with loaches, puffers, or larger carnivores that may prey on small shrimp.
Breeding Safety
A sponge filter is essential in breeding setups to protect the miniature, newly-hatched shrimp from intake suction.
