Shrimp make one of the best bottom critters for aquariums. They come in a great variety, from red to blue to yellow species. Some species are big, and some are tiny, meaning there’s a shrimp type for every tank setup.
But caring for shrimp isn’t as easy as it might look. The great diversity in shrimp species also means every species has its own requirements, so these critters need enough attention to thrive.
It’s also extremely important to take into account which tank mates you’re going to keep with your shrimp. Some fish love eating these fish, leaving no shrimp left after a couple of days.
On the other hand, if you manage to integrate shrimp successfully into your tank, they make for an amazing, low-maintenance, and peaceful critter.
