Product overview

Contains 3 pcs.

Baby bee shrimp shelters are not only a real eye-catcher as decoration in the aquarium, but above all they function as protection, hiding place and stress-free feeding place for shrimp.

The surface of the Baby Shrimp Shelter is very large and microscopically rough due to the folds, which means that an important biofilm of algae and bacterial lawns settles quickly and in large numbers, so the Japanese Baby Shrimp Shelters can even be used as a biological filter medium.

This biofilm is the optimal nutritional base for shrimp and the large surface area of ​​the Baby Shrimp Shelter gives them a huge grazing area. The protective flowers become narrower towards the inside, so there is a lot of space where the biofilm of adult shrimp and other aquarium inhabitants can no longer be reached.

Here the small shrimps can feed in peace and quiet, they often sit in large numbers in the small weeks and graze the surfaces.

The shape of the Baby Shrimp Shelter has been developed in such a way that the small shrimps have plenty of space to graze on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can always find a place to retreat and shelter nearby.

As soon as the shrimp feel a little uncomfortable, they simply take a few steps back and quickly retreat to the narrower bays of the Baby Shrimp Shelter, where they are safe.

But shrimp also love to hide deep in the folds of the shrimp when molting, as there is a risk of cannibalism during and shortly after molting. Compared to adult shrimp, juvenile shrimp need to molt very often because they grow very quickly.

By socializing with fish or other predators that would eat newly hatched shrimp, or with high populations of shrimp and snails, which graze on the biofilm on surfaces and often leave nothing for the shrimp, the survival rate of the shrimp in the mother pool or communal pool can be increased.

Shelters are made of an aquarium-compatible plastic (PVC), they have proven themselves in shrimp farming for many years. The different colors of the Baby Shrimp Shelter can be chosen according to your individual taste and / or to match the decor. To make the hiding place and camouflage perfect, you can also choose them according to the color of the shrimp.
