Shrimp Hut Small

The Aquavitro Small Shrimp Hut is manufactured from high quality ceramic and is suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The perforated hut is perfect for providing shelter during the breeding cycle and also protection during moulting.

Small shrimp, fish, and other animals naturally seek out seclusion from time to time to ease stress and avoid predation. Small shrimp, in particular, are vulnerable when they shed their exoskeleton, and female shrimp carrying eggs often seek out dark areas to protect themselves and their eggs. Without refuge, it is common for females to abandon their eggs. Aquavitro shrimp enrichment accessories are ideal for providing this type of refuge. In addition, they can act as a substrate for fine algae and/or bio-film to develop which are considered important food sources for many small shrimp.
