Please note our ghost shrimp are usually culls of other colour shimp. This means they may or may not have a little bit of colour on them from whatever colour their parents where, or be a darker stripped colour. Keeping with fish The general rule for all aquatic life is "if it fits in their mouth they will eat it." Unless you have specifically passive or vegetarian fish, shrimp may be eaten by any fish which is large enough to swallow one whole. Adult shrimp grow to 2cm in length, with juveniles being at least 1cm. Conversely, any smaller fish will live with them very happily. They may eat the baby shrimp if they breed, but if you have enough plant cover, usually enough survive to keep the colony going. If you have any questions or problems feel free to contact us!
