If you are looking for freshwater shrimp, we show you how to care for them and how to create suitable dwellings. Shrimp can live in a small aquarium, so they are often placed on a desk, office, or bedroom.

Steps

  1. 1 Rinse the aquarium under hot water for at least 2 minutes. Do not use soap or dishwashing liquid. Each shrimp should have 1 liter of water. That is, if you plan to have 12 shrimp, you will need a 12-15 L aquarium.
  2. 2 Add bedding - gravel, sand, or soil. Rinse the mat under boiling water before placing it in the aquarium.
  3. 3 Add plants. Shrimps love to live in plant leaves. Plants also saturate the water with oxygen. Plants serve as food.
  4. 4 Place some seashells or pebbles and fill the tank with spring water. The water must be filtered.
  5. 5 After a day or 2, add a few drops of Stress Zyme to the water. After 1 week, shrimp can be introduced into the aquarium.

Tips

  • Plants need light to do photosynthesis. Avoid placing the aquarium in direct sunlight unless you want to boil the shrimp.
  • Use small worms to feed the shrimp.
  • Shrimps can live in the same tank as snails.

Warnings

  • Cover the aquarium with a lid, as the shrimp can jump high.
  • Do not use tap water. All the inhabitants of the aquarium will die.
  • If you put shrimp in the aquarium right away, they can die.
