Whisker Shrimp

Whisker Shrimp are an interesting and active freshwater shrimp known for their long antennae, slender bodies, and distinctive appearance. Their curious behavior and active scavenging make them an entertaining addition to freshwater aquariums.

These shrimp are best suited for established aquariums with stable water conditions and plenty of hiding places. They are active scavengers and appreciate driftwood, plants, rocks, and other surfaces to explore. At Fish4Ever Aquatics, each shrimp is carefully maintained in clean, healthy conditions to ensure they arrive active and ready to thrive in your aquarium.
