Salt Water Amphipods

Preferred Habitat: Live Rock, Ulva, Bryozoans
Food Type: Flake and plankton feed
Min Aquarium Size: 2 Gallons

NOTES:
Small "C" shaped shrimp that like to dart in and out of substrate. They are an excellent addition to any aquarium as they feed on detritus and help to balance the aquarium. Culture in a tub with light aeriation and give them plenty of places to hide. Feed once a day. Seahorses love these as well as other finicky eaters, and they are fairly easy to culture yourself, but a little hard to catch!

Common Shore Shrimp

Palaemonetes vulgaris

Attribute Description
Behavior: Likes to hang on walls
Max Size: 1 inch
Preferred Habitat: Marshes
Food Type: Flake
Min Aquarium Size: 5 Gallons
Skill Level: Easy
NOTES:
Easy to keep feeder shrimp. These are fun pets or make a great meal for an angler fish or other medium sized fish (up to 6 inches). They keep well and eat flake food. These make a great snack for any predator fish. Keep a top on your aquarium or they will jump out and turn crispy on your aquarium lights! One word of advice, often our customers break off their rostrum (point on the nose) to prevent it from getting stuck in your fish's throat if the fish is in the 2+-" range.
