White shrimp are native to the Pacific Coast of Central and South America. They come from brood stock that has been certified as disease and pathogen free by the USDA. They can be housed and maintained in a 10 gallon or larger cycled aquarium with an established sponge filter.
White shrimp are an excellent food source for many types of saltwater fish. They are great for getting hard-to-feed fish such as seahorses, pipefish, wrasse, gobies, lionfish, grunts and newly born sharks to begin feeding. Because these are marine shrimp, they can be kept in the main aquarium unlike Ghost Shrimp.
Their diet should consist of a combination of freeze dried and frozen brine shrimp, mysids, and micro-crustaceans, along with spirulina flakes.
It is common to lose a few shrimp during shipping, so to compensate for this, we include a few extra shrimp with each order.
