Their unique colour patterns and low maintenance requirements make them a vibrant addition to any aquarium, and an outstanding choice for enthusiasts.

Our Tips:

Feed your shrimp every other day with a varied diet. At Shrimp Cove, we use Vegetable Shrimp Bars with seaweed for lean nutrition and Protein Bars to support growth and breeding. Add blanched greens once a week—our shrimp are spoiled, and yours should be too!
