Shrimps
The two major types of shrimp that are extremely popular in aquaculture today are red cherry shrimp and crystal red shrimp. Cherrie’s are popular due to their reproductive nature, give them time and they will exponentially populate your aquarium. On the other hand Red Crystal Shrimp are popular due to them being a rare and fragile creature, they originated from a mutation in Japan, leading to one of the most extraordinary popularities in the modern world.
Before keeping any type of shrimp you must understand that they are very sensitive to water conditions, being a crustacean they do not have an immune system like fish, leaving them much more susceptible to disease and mutation. They are also very sensitive to heavy metals ESPECIALLY copper, be sure to read what’s in the additives before they go into the aquarium.
