Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp 

Shrimp for the aquarium are interesting and practical inclusions. You can watch them clean your aquarium while you sit back and take in the view. Aquarium shrimp will eat algae from surfaces like leaves and also the gravel. Furthermore shrimp will scavenge for food and clean up any overlooked tidbits.

Considering how useful these animals are they are quite inexpensive. Shrimp for the aquarium will typically be sold for as low as one dollar each.

Freshwater shrimp are great in planted aquariums with smaller fish such as tetras and guppies. If kept with larger fish you fish the shrimp becoming dinner.

While some freshwater aquarium shrimp are clear like glass there are others colored a rich cherry red. Such cherry shrimp are a lot easier to find in a busy tank than their clear relatives.
