Description

The Peppermint Shrimp is a peaceful and useful addition to marine and reef aquariums, known for its ability to help control Aiptasia anemone infestations. With its distinctive red and translucent body, the Peppermint Shrimp is both decorative and functional, offering natural pest control. This 25-lot bundle is ideal for aquarists looking to introduce a beneficial group of these shrimps to maintain aquarium health and aesthetic appeal.

Peppermint Shrimp are omnivores, scavenging leftover food, detritus, and occasionally nibbling on Aiptasia, making them valuable in keeping the tank clean. They adapt well to reef setups and are considered reef-safe, causing no harm to corals or other tank mates. In groups, these shrimp exhibit natural behaviors and work efficiently to keep the environment pest-free.

These shrimp require moderate water flow and stable water conditions for long-term health. Regular feedings of small bits of meaty foods or pellets can supplement their diet in the absence of detritus or natural food sources. Due to their hardy nature and peaceful disposition, Peppermint Shrimp are suitable for beginner to advanced aquarists alike.
