dwarf shrimp

Dwarf shrimp such as bluetail and bee shrimp grow to about 3 – 4 centimeters in size and are quite productive. Of course, whether dwarf shrimp are eaten also depends on the cichlids. Sajicas z. B. they taste excellent. The shrimp should not get too big and aggressive, like e.g. B. glass shrimp, or need salt water for reproduction, such as Amano shrimp.

zebrafish
