Special requirements
Copper Sensitivity
Like all invertebrates, they are highly sensitive to copper. Avoid copper-based medications and ensure fertilizers are shrimp-safe.
Predator Warning
Do not house with loaches, puffers, or larger carnivorous fish that may consume small invertebrates.
Breeding Safety
If breeding, a sponge filter is required to protect the miniature young shrimp from being drawn into the filtration system.
