Care Level: Best with stable water and careful acclimation
Temperature: Keep temperature steady for the exact shrimp type
pH / GH / KH: Stable mineral content matters; verify requirements for the exact shrimp type

Best Tankmates: Peaceful shrimp-safe fish, peaceful snails, mosses, and live plants
Avoid With: Copper, aggressive fish, large predators, and tanks with unstable parameters
Care Notes
Use slow acclimation when possible. Avoid copper exposure and do not add shrimp to unstable or uncycled tanks. Plant cover, moss, and mature grazing surfaces help shrimp settle after arrival.
Shipping & Arrival
Most in-stock livestock generally ships in 1–2 business days when weather, livestock condition, and carrier timing are safe. Open the package promptly, keep lights low, and acclimate before release.
