Small shrimp, fish and other aquarium animals naturally seek out quiet hiding places to reduce stress and avoid predators. Shrimp are especially vulnerable right after they shed their exoskeleton, and females carrying eggs often look for dark, enclosed spaces to protect themselves and their eggs. Without a suitable refuge, it is common for stressed females to drop or abandon their eggs.
The Aquavitro Shrimp Small Hut is part of the aquavitro shrimp enrichment range and is designed to provide exactly this kind of shelter. The hut‑style shape creates a secure, cave‑like refuge where shrimp can rest, molt and hide from tank mates. At the same time, the surface of the Aquavitro Shrimp Small Hut encourages the growth of fine algae and biofilm, which are important natural food sources for many small shrimp.
