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.
