Most freshwater shrimp are algae grazers and they constantly are on the look out for food by eating algae on plants and other surfaces. When ever new decor is introduced to a shrimp tank it's important to ensure they won't effect the water chemistry.
The Fluval Ebi Ceramic Shrimp Log is chemically inert ceramic shrimp
ornament specifically designed with this in mind. The
porous surface is also ideal for shrimp to graze on.
When shrimp have hiding places they are much happier. It also gives them somewhere to rest and recouperate when they have moulted and feel most vulnerable. At this time they need at least 48 hours before their skeleton hardens up for them to feel safe to venture out.
If you are feeling creative why not use some Java Moss and Aqua Fine Line and create a stunning trunk that is alive with moss. Place the moss on the Trunk and tie it gently with Aqua Fine Line. As it grows your shrimp will keep the moss clean and help to stimulate moss growth.
