Freshwater Shrimp care guide

Water

Stable parameters above all - avoid sudden TDS, GH or temperature swings

Important

No copper in the tank or medications - shrimp and snails are highly sensitive

Acclimation

Drip acclimate 30-60 minutes before gently releasing

Feeding

Biofilm and algae first; supplement with wafers and blanched vegetables

Species-specific husbandry lives on each product page. Every fish is quarantined, and every coral dipped and pest-checked, before sale.
