What Are Freshwater Shrimp?
Freshwater shrimp are small aquatic crustaceans that spend their entire lives in freshwater environments such as rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, and wetlands. They belong to the order Decapoda, meaning "ten-footed," because they possess five pairs of walking legs.
Like crabs, lobsters, and crayfish, shrimp have a hard external skeleton known as an exoskeleton. Since this shell cannot grow with the animal, shrimp periodically shed it in a process called molting, allowing them to increase in size.
Most aquarium shrimp belong to two major groups:
Neocaridina Shrimp
Neocaridina species are among the easiest freshwater shrimp to keep. They are hardy, adaptable, and available in many brilliant colors.
Popular varieties include:
- Cherry Shrimp
- Blue Dream Shrimp
- Yellow Shrimp
- Orange Sakura Shrimp
- Green Jade Shrimp
- Chocolate Shrimp
- Black Rose Shrimp
Caridina shrimp are generally more delicate and require more stable water conditions.
Popular species include:
- Crystal Red Shrimp
- Crystal Black Shrimp
- Taiwan Bee Shrimp
- Tiger Shrimp
- Bee Shrimp
- Pinto Shrimp
- Amano Shrimp
- Ghost Shrimp
