Peppermint Shrimp
🦐🌊 Peppermint Shrimp (Saltwater) 🌊🦐
These Peppermint Shrimp are ready to join a healthy saltwater aquarium! Known for their bright red stripes and helpful habits, Peppermint Shrimp are popular members of reef tanks.
They are best known for sometimes eating Aiptasia, a pest anemone that can take over saltwater tanks. While not every shrimp will target Aiptasia, many hobbyists use them as part of their cleanup crew.
🟢 Quick Care Tips:
• Adult size: 1.5–2 inches
• Tank size: 10+ gallons (larger is better)
• Temperature: 72–78°F
• Salinity: 1.023–1.025
• Diet: Scavengers — eat leftover food, pellets, and meaty frozen foods
• Reef safe: Generally yes
Peppermint Shrimp do best in stable tanks with good water quality. They are peaceful and can live with most reef-safe fish.
If your reef tank needs a helpful little cleaner with personality, Peppermint Shrimp may be the perfect addition. 💚
