What plants can be safely together with shrimp in an aquarium.
We can use all plants for shrimp, after making sure that they are not soaked in heavy metals and copper.
Unfortunately, most aquarium shops offer and sell plants that are very heavily soaked in chemicals. The plants retain these chemicals for up to 3 months.
This is not harmful to fish, but it kills shrimp. Therefore, it is very dangerous.

What to do after receiving a package with shrimp?
We open the package and visually check if everything is in order. If there is anything disturbing or strange, please take a photo.
Then please open the bags and pour the entire contents into a bowl/container.
Then, using the drip method (for about 2 hours), we add water from the aquarium so that the shrimp can slowly acclimatize.
It often happens that after the trip, the shrimp are motionless, because they are stressed after the trip. Usually, a few minutes after taking them out of the bag and putting them into the container, the shrimp will start to move.
After the full acclimatization process, please transfer the shrimp to your tank. Using a net. Without pouring in the water from the trip.
Never rely on the water parameters in the bag in which the shrimp arrived. During the trip, these parameters change a lot, due to the excrements excreted by the shrimp.
Why are the shrimp a different color than in the photos in our aquariums?
During the trip / transport, the shrimp are very stressed and lose their true colors. Sometimes they need even a few days to regain their true colors.
