Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Bumble Bee Shrimp is the perfect candidate for a nano tank due to its small size. These little guys are like Harlequin Shrimp and feed on sea star's tube feet, but they do not need them to survive as the Harlequin does. The shrimp's size will not exceed more than 1 inch in length, so be sure not to house with tank mates that would make a snack out of this shrimp. The Bumble Bee Shrimp will scavenge for food, but their diet should be supplemented with meaty foods. This shrimp can be kept singly or in a pair, but be careful choosing tank mates because fish and some invertebrates may try to make a meal out of this tiny shrimp.
- - Add to an aquarium with anemones and/or corals
- - For continued health, supplement with meaty frozen foods
- - Prefers higher salinity
- - Should be kept singly or in a pair
- - Cannot tolerate copper medications and high nitrates
- - Reef safe

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
