Quick Answers

What plants are best for shrimp tanks?
Mosses, Anubias, Java Fern, crypts, and easy stem plants are popular because they provide cover and grazing surfaces.
Why do shrimp like moss?
Moss traps biofilm and tiny foods while giving shrimplets dense cover from fish and larger tankmates.
Do shrimp tank plants need CO2?
Many shrimp tank plants grow without CO2. Stronger light, CO2, and nutrients can improve growth for more demanding plants.
Can plants help shrimplets survive?
Yes. Dense plant growth, moss, and hardscape cover give shrimplets more places to hide and graze.
Are shrimp tank plants covered by the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Yes. Photograph any issue in the original packaging on the day of delivery before trimming or replanting.
