This half dome cave is the perfect size shelter for shrimp to evade fish and to feel safe. They enjoy crawling in and out of the holes, and it provides an excellent place for them to breed so the baby shrimp don't get eaten by larger species.
Perfect Size for Dwarf Shrimp
Neocaridina cherry shrimp, Caridina crystal shrimp, and other types of dwarf shrimp love shelters like these that have small enough holes to prevent larger predators from following them. Use super glue gel to attach java moss, anubias, bucephalandra, and ferns onto the cave to create even more cover.
Nice Hiding Spot
Kuhli loaches, baby fish, and nano fish have been known to seek shelter in these shrimp caves. Just make sure the animals are small or flexible enough that they won't get stuck inside.
Lightweight and small enough for a planted 2gal tank. My shrimp keep the inside clean. It disappears well under plants. These could easily be attached to hardscape. I wished I had ordered a few more as soon as I opened the little box. Really satisfied!

Shrimp Hide
I love the look of this little shrimp hide. I put java moss on top and my shrimp love it! It’s perfect for baby shrimp!

Great little shrimp hide (or for kuhlis)
I purchased several of these (one from my LFS which carries Aquarium Coop supplies). I loved it so much I decided to order two more directly from Aq Co-op. Shockingly my kuhli loaches love to hang out in the hides even more than my shrimp. They take naps in it and rest their little heads in the little holes....so adorable
