Shrimps
The essence of our hobby!
Freshwater invertebrates, by many nicknamed “dwarf” shrimp due to their small size that can, depending on the species, reach a maximum of 3 cm.
They belong to a group of crustaceans that is very popular in aquarium and has very varied specimens, either in color or pattern. The most popular species are Neocaridinas, Caridinas and Sulawesi (Caridina).
These animals spend their time feeding on everything they collect since they are detritivores, from algae to other organisms that grow on plants, mosses, stones, substrate and even other dead shrimp.
